Rejected petition Make Public Sexual Harassment A Criminal Offence:

People are endangered and make uncomfortable on our streets of the United Kingdom, due to verbal sexual harassment. This is dubbed as “cat-calling” with the government’s help and your signing of this petition. We can make our streets safer and keep eachother safe from Public Sexual Harassment.

More details

The government is here to ensure that the citizens of the United Kingdom are safe. And to ensure this safety we need for Public Sexual Harassment to be a Criminal Offence. People are made to feel uncomfortable, objectified and afraid on the streets, and with this being a criminal offence, I believe that the public will be safe from predators.
