Make sexual harassment laws stricter and increase the punishments

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The current laws on sexual harassment towards women and also men is not strict enough as sexual harassment victims are very likely to suffer deep trauma that could potentially victimise their lives.

As the recent study came out with 97% of women being sexually harassed this needs to come down as this statistic is horrific towards the public this being from a male himself.
