Catcalling is a phenomenon occurring in public space. It consists in the perpetrator’s use of comments regarding, for example, the appearance of a person encountered on the street – objectifying this appearance, vulgar provocations, obscene gestures, noises or whistles, honking or strenuous and unwanted attempts to start a conversation by the recipient.
