I was walking home in broad daylight at approximately 5 p.m. and was 100m from my home when I heard wolf whistling in my direction. I turned and looked at the man who stopped. He then kept looking at me and yelled out, ‘SEX PLEASE’.
I stopped walking and stared at him, before saying in a loud voice, “EXCUSE ME?”
He just smiled and kept looking. I decided it was better to leave the situation than remain and so walked the rest of the way home, but double checked to make sure he wasn’t following me just to be safe. There were plenty of people around but no one said anything!
Optional: What’s one way you think we can make public places safer for everyone?
Help others in the same situation, don’t be a bystander!
