This research is normative legal research or library research. The results showed and understood the legal framework related to verbal sexual harassment, also known as catcalling, in Indonesia. As well as raising public awareness of rights and law enforcement, in order to create a safe public environment for women, it can be concluded that the law enforcement of perpetrators of verbal sexual harassment (catcalling) still faces some problems.
