I’m 20 years old right now, and I’ve experienced a lot of catcalling for the past years. I’m from the Philippines and catcalling and other forms of street harassment are common to the point that I don’t want to walk alone on the streets for the fear of being harassed by a random guy.
Optional: Do you have any suggestions for dealing with harassers and/or ending street harassment in general?
Educate the people especially the young ones regarding the importance of respect, not only for a lady like me but for everyone in general. I hope we make this world a better place by starting with this simple step. Spread love.
