Street Harassment
Street harassment refers to unwanted and often aggressive behavior directed at individuals in public spaces. This can include catcalling, lewd comments, or unwanted physical contact. It typically targets women and marginalized groups, creating an environment of fear and discomfort.
Such behavior can occur in various settings, including streets, public transportation, and parks. Street harassment is a form of gender-based violence and is often rooted in power dynamics and societal norms. Many cities and organizations are working to raise awareness and implement measures to combat this issue, promoting safer public spaces for everyone.
