Street HarassmentFriday 1 August 2003
It's summertime, the skirts are shorter and the temperatures are hotter. Just the right conditions for cat-calls and wolf-whistles as women walk by.

When it happens to you, should you turn the other cheek, shout back abuse or bask in the attention? Well, none of the above, according to a group of feminists who have just set up a new project to help women fight what they call "street harassment".
Jill Reid of the Anti-Social Harassment Project and Lizzy Lyle of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust join Sheila to discuss whether we should take street harassment seriously.
