Fed up with hearing catcalls, women around the world are fighting back -- with chalk

"I'm gonna come back for you later." "It'll be so good, you won't want to call it rape." These are the kinds of catcalls that women -- and some men -- endure on the streets of the world's cities every day. The problem is widespread. A 2014 study found that in the UK, for example, 90% of women say they experienced their first street harassment before turning 17. More than 70% of South African women say they have been followed by men on the street.
