​What is street harassment Street harassment can be any unwanted remarks or actions made towards someone in a public space that make them feel uncomfortable or unsafe.
It can be:
catcalling or wolf-whistling unwanted sexually explicit remarks unwanted touching or groping staring or leering following or stalking invading someone’s personal space or blocking their movement upskirting or down-blousing Harassment can happen to anyone, but it affects far more women, especially young women and teenage girls.
The terms street harassment and sexual harassment are often used in place of each other. However, street harassment is not always sexually motivated or based on a person’s sex.
