28. Women’s Panel #2: Catcalling and Sexual Harassment

Catcalling - the act of shouting harassing and often sexually suggestive, threatening, or derisive comments at someone publicly

Sexual Harassment - behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation.
