Make public sexual harrasment a crime and help youngsters.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

To make public sexual harrasment a crime and to just help young girls that may have experience it before and prevent it happening to anyone else hopefully.
The reason why I want to do this is I've heard stories and it's disgusting. Many females are traumatised to even go outside nowadays, they fear that theyll go through something that would traumatise them.
