In support of Anti Street Harassment Week (Apr 12-18) Feminist Apparel put up street signs around New York City to bring awareness to catcalling.
The signs reading “NO CATCALL ZONE” include the subtitle: “End street harassment.” The imagery features the silhouette of a feline being yelled at by two figures in the background, including the figure on the right groping itself.
According to Alan J. Martofel, production coordinator at Feminist Apparel, the goal was "simply to raise awareness of Anti-Street Harassment Week and create some further dialogue surrounding the issue.”

“This is the first community-based activist campaign we’ve been able to fund through the sale of t-shirts on our website. There are currently over 50 signs up, we do have a few more we’re meaning to sneak up throughout the week, as well as sticker versions of the sign designs. We hope to get at least one sign up in each borough by the end of the week as street harassment and catcalling is obviously a universal issue not contained to any one neighborhood.” - Alan J.
