Cat-calling
|
The recent New York City Street Harassment video has brought a lot of attention to cat-calling. This type of behavior has been labeled sexual harassment. With over 30% of girls receiving their first cat-call between the ages of 13 and 14 and 85% of girls becoming victims to street harassment before their 17th birthday, this is clearly an important issue to girls. This type of harassment is typically dictated towards girls and intends to objectify and overpower the victim. (http://www.ihollaback.org/)
