Catcalling

Lawmakers have passed a set of controversial security measures Thursday, amid shouting and catcalling, after a scuffle broke out in parliament earlier in the day.

In the Room for Debate forum Stopping Street Harassment, the editors ask four people to weigh in on the question, Should current laws dealing with harassment be strengthened to include catcalling, or will that go too far in controlling speech and behavior? (A catcall in this context is defined as “a whistle, shout, or comment of a sexual nature to a woman passing by.”)
