Abstract
Catcalling is sexual harassment between strangers in the public space. A poster intervention
was designed to test its effects and the effects of gender on feelings of security, awareness,
likelihood of bystander action, and acceptance of catcalling. Analysis of the questionnaire,
filled in by 204 participants, used before and after the introduction of the posters in the public
space, revealed significant results for the effect of gender on feelings of security, awareness,
and bystander action. All other effects were non-significant. These results showed that women
feel less safe, have more awareness concerning the problem of catcalling and are more likely
for bystander intervention in harassment situations than men.
