Stop street harassment of girls and women

"Across three years I’ve received hundreds of stories from women in 30 countries detailing the sexually explicit comments, following, groping, whistling, and public masturbation that men impose on them, simply because they are female and occupy public space. . . . No country has achieved equality and no country will until women can navigate public places without experiencing or fearing street harassment."  The author describes 4 steps to stop street harassment of women.
From opinion piece "Street harassment of women:  It's a bigger problem than you think,"
