What the petition asks
Make public sexual harassment a criminal offence and prosecute anyone found to be making non consensual sexual remarks towards people a criminal offence.
We as women are tired of feeling scared to do daily things that men wouldn’t often think twice about, there should be no reason we should feel unsafe to live life normally or be harassed and objectified.
