PERU: It is common to see men harassing women in the streets. But not because many men do it, doesn’t mean that it is okay. Mere whistling is insulting to some women, and this should stop. Just this August, Peru’s Council of Ministers approved a bill amending Criminal Code to punish street harassment with the aim to protect children and women. The announcement was made by the newly-appointed Prime Minister, Ana María Jara, who expressed confidence that Congress will approve this initiative soon, as it is a “citizen outcry” intended to correct legislative omission. But still, many men continue to harass women since some women don’t really pay attention and simply keep to themselves. We really need to do something to make this men realize what wrong they are doing. What if their moms were the one being harassed? That would definitely make them think twice before doing it again!
