Almost every day when walking on the street, no matter what I am wearing, where I am going, or the time of day, I get catcalled in some way or another. Sometimes it may just be men jeering to on another as I walk by or honking from their cars. But other times there are comments and gestures of a sexual nature. Sometimes it has even been young boys, younger than me (I am 18). Which shows that the issue is not just regarding the older generations who were ‘brought up in a different time’. It is a current, on going issue that is not going to go away.The fact that young boys today are taught that this OK to do shows just how relevant the issue is in todays society.

Teach young boys to respect women and girls, rather than teaching young women to fear men and boys.
