Women will be urged to report street harassment that they might not be aware is a crime, as part of a national publicity campaign to be launched by the Government.
The multi-million pound campaign to target perpetrators and challenge misogynistic attitudes will tell women there are already laws under which they could report to police men who harass them in public.
