Make public sexual harassment a crime in the UK

Petition Details

I want the government to impose criminal punishments for anybody who publicly sexually harasses someone.
In light of recent circumstances, women have not felt safe on the streets and it has been reported that 97% of young women in the UK have ben sexually harassed.

Additional Information

This is a scary statistic and there needs to be action, because if women aren't safe walking home, then where are we safe?
