Lately, one of the most discussed topics is safety in Milan, especially as a woman. After a girl’s testimony on Tik Tok, many of us saw ourselves in her and found the strength to tell our own story as well. The girl recounts that while she was walking to a friend of hers in San Babila, she risked being attacked by two boys who blatantly targeted her. They began pointing at her and shouting incomprehensible phrases. As soon as she realises this, she fortunately sees a cab and gets in. Many might think that nothing happened in the end, but that is not the point we need to dwell on. The more troubling question is: If the cab had not been there, what would have happened?

The hope is to be heard, get the videos to those in charge to make us feel safe again.
How do you feel in Milan?
