Catcalling is a form of street harassment where someone makes unsolicited comments, whistles, or gestures towards another person, often in a sexual manner. This behavior typically occurs in public spaces and can make the recipient feel uncomfortable, objectified, or threatened. Catcalling is often directed at women but can happen to anyone, regardless of gender. The impact of catcalling can be significant, leading to feelings of anxiety, fear, or anger. Many people advocate against catcalling, emphasizing the importance of respect and consent in all interactions. Organizations and campaigns aim to raise awareness about the negative effects of street harassment and promote safer public environments for everyone.
