I shiver at the thought that this is a reality. That people are capable of such a thing. I would fear for the safety of pretty much every girl out there and especially my sister and female friends.

If girls provoke sexual harassment just by going outside, something has gone terribly wrong. The government, but also parents and educators, have the responsibility to act and try to stop this behaviour or at least try their hardest. The harassers should also take a critical look at their own behaviour (I know, wishful thinking).

What I do not understand though, is how these people are capable of doing this. Would they do the same with their own sister, niece or female friends?
