An international survey involving 15,500 people of all ages was interviewed about their experiences of harassment on two levels – as both victims and witnesses of sexual harassment in public spaces.

A survey conducted by researchers at Cornell University and L'Oréal Paris.  Noted that 78% of women have experienced sexual harassment in public spaces. Only 25% of victims say someone helped. Therefore 86% of us do not know what to do when we witness it happening. 

Stand Up Against Street Harassment is designed to support women by tackling the intimidating behaviours that impact girls' and women's very sense of freedom to move through the world and to create a cultural shift in the global response to street harassment.
