The radio commercials were broadcast on 722 stations across the country with the help of the KBP and SBP. It was complemented by this fantastic website to educate and advocate against this act of sexual harassment.

Our collective outcry against catcalling and sexual harassment was heard, and action was taken – Senate Bill 1326, also known as the Safe Streets and Public Spaces Act, was signed into law. Catcalling, as well as other forms of sexual harassment, is now illegal.
