France to fine catcallers on the spot in attempt to stop sexual harassment in public

October 17, 2017

The Harvey Weinstein scandal in the US has revived debate about sexual harassment in France.

The country's Gender Equality Minister has set out plans for a new law proposing on-the-spot fines for catcalling and misogynistic behaviour in public.

Politicians will work alongside the police to establish behaviours that constitute a fine.

President Macron supports the new law which is already implemented in Portugal and Argentina.
