request to commit sexual acts, verbal or physical
acts or sexual cues, which make a person feel
offended, humiliated and intimidated.

that occurs in a public space where a man makes a
comment on the body or tries to tempt a woman
who walks through it.
 Impacts

victims, women who are dressed in closed
also come to feel this sexual harassment.
Often every time a woman goes out of the
house, walks on the side of the road, they
must have gotten catcalling.
■ Discomfort in public spaces, anxiety, low self-
esteem, even depression.

harassment including cat calling.

the perpetrator to the authorities
