My name is Noura and I’m 18 years old from Morocco. I’m a university student and sice university is far from home it takes me an hour to get there by taking 3 taxis or 2 hours by taking the bus.I started being sexually harassed when I was only 12 years old. I remember very clearly when I was in eight grade and I was coming home from school, there was this guy who commented about my breasts, I also remember very clearly how all the boys and men stared at my back not just me but every girl who passed by them, This happened back when I was in middle school I was 12 or 13, now I’m a university student and this still happens.Not long ago I was going to university and two boys walked by and grabbed my shirt’s collar, I was very scarred after that I got social anxiety and I didn’t leave home for two weeks. Not long after I was again going to university then a man started calling me he was like, look at me, just look at me for one second, I thought it was important, then he said, wow you’re gorgeous I wanna spend just one night with you so I can die in peace. That was so disgusting and I couldn’t tell my mom or dad about it. I spent the whole holiday at home about 4 months, I never went out for even once. Now when I go to university I ask my dad to drop me off, but like this I can only avoid those who are in the streets, but there are also many in the same college with me. I hope one day this would change, because I don’t wanna see girls experiencing all this.
