Nimco Ali is trying to make Street Harassment into a crime. She hasn't named who is blocking this but hints that it is somebody at the top. BBC news.

Both my DD and GD have been victims of men who think they can make sexual comments and become aggressive if ignored.

On the website is a story of a young woman being harassed on the tube. A man was taking photos of her legs and grabbing at her. Only one person in that carriage helped her. The others just turned a blind eye.

Women should be allowed to go about their day without being subjected to blatantly sexual misbehaviour.

This all about power for some men. Making a woman uncomfortable gives them a boost.
It is the inadequate man who will make vile remarks to women.
I just think they are the ones who may go on to physically harm women.
