Sexual harassment on the street will become a crime that will cost them up to 2 years in prison. Yelling, following someone and blocking a road will be criminalized in England under plans backed by the Home Secretary.

"Every woman should feel safe to walk down the street," said Suella Braverman.

Sexual harassment is already illegal, but it is hoped that the creation of a new street harassment offense will encourage more people to report it to the Police.

Women under 34 are more likely to be the target of sexual offenses but less likely to report them, according to the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS). A poll by YouGov pollsters for the BBC, published in March, suggested that two-thirds of women did not feel safe walking alone at night.

The murder of Sarah Everard, who was abducted and killed by an off-duty police officer as she walked home in south London last year, has also raised concerns about women's safety and attitudes towards women. The Home Office has now concluded it should be introduced as the "substantial majority" of respondents were in favour.
