Straatintimidatie te lijf

Hissing, sexually explicit comments and annoying chasing: many women suffer from street harassment. We investigated where women feel unsafe in the Netherlands and received thousands of responses. Municipalities have been struggling for years to tackle street intimidation. What works? Information and campaigns or repression? As of July 1, street intimidation is punishable. A step in the right direction, but what about enforcement? We speak to victims, investigate the role of education and look at what boas and the police can do about this persistent problem.
