Correspondent. Stop street harassment!
Correspondent. Stop street harassment! – (SPECIAL SUBJECT / FRANCE 2)
Harassment in the street, on public transport, in nightclubs… How do women cope with ordinary sexism?
Some scream like turkeys to scare away the attackers, others return the insults with virulence, most move on, head bowed, as if in a fatalistic acceptance of the situation.
In 2022, in France, the authorities recorded 2,308 outrages and sexual assaults on public transport, and in the street, almost 8 out of 10 women have already been followed.
The feeling of being prey
Whistling, obscene gestures or noises, insults, rubbing, touching… The spectrum of what is commonly called street harassment is very broad. However, it gives women in general the same feeling, that of being prey.
How do women deal with ordinary sexism? “Special Envoy” covers the issue.
A report by Tetiana Pryimachuk, Lucie Rémy and Romain Giraud broadcast in “Special Envoy” on November 23 2023.
