STREET HARASSMENT IS THE 1ST ISSUE FACED BY WOMEN IN THE WORLD
According to an international study by L’Oréal Paris with research partner Ipsos1, sexual harassment in public spaces was identified as the most important issue faced by women across the world. Indeed, street harassment is a barrier in women’s daily life, robbing their sense of security and feelings of self-worth. It goes against the values of women empowerment, at the heart of L’Oréal Paris’ DNA. That is why L’Oréal Paris is committed to Stand Up Against Street Harassment globally.
