The findings are very similar to other regions of the world.
“The survey of 1426 females found 87% were verbally or physically attacked while walking down the street and men were responsible for 52% of the attacks. 40% of women feel unsafe in their own neighbourhoods at night…In addition to verbal harassment, physical street harassment is also a relatively commonplace occurrence, with 65% of women experiencing physically threatening harassment. One third of women had been kissed without their consent and a quarter of women report being threatened after rejecting the sexual advances of a stranger.””
