Abstract
Street harassment is a type of gender violence that daily affects the right of women to move freely in public space. Traditional media have given less importance to daily harassment in public space. In addition, when information related to the experiences of violence against women generates more insecurity due to the content and the way in which they publish. That is, it is part of the learning sources of danger on the street for them, amplifying fear. At the same time, a wave of feminist digital activism has emerged in recent years that denounces and explains street harassment. In this sense, we analyze some initiatives that have arisen in the alternative means of information and that promote consciousness about what kind of attitudes and behaviors are understood through street harassment, from the own voice of those affected
