Petition Horn honking/sexual slurs shouted out of car windows to women to be an offence.
The majority of women while in public have to endure multiple forms of harassment, from horn honking to misogynistic sexual slurs shouted out of vehicle windows, whether travelling to work or visiting local shops women endure constant verbal harassment. All women should feel safe on our streets.
More details
My personal experience has a 20 year old women living on a main road traveling the 30 minute journey to work I receive upwards of 3 vocal forms of sexual harassment I am made to feel like a piece of meat. Why should this injustice which has occurred for generations in our society be accepted. An online form where victims of this behaviour can report offending vehicle registration numbers to the local authority and a sanction procedure should be in place to prevent these acts being committed.
