It's not just wolf whistling, is it? These guys are making a girl feel uncomfortable, regularly.

It shouldn't have got this far, but it'll be good for the company and employees to be used as an example.

No, it's not (just wolf whistling, I mean).

A 23-year-old digital marketing coordinator has reported a group of builders to the police for sexual harassment. Every morning on her way to work, Poppy Smart faced gestures, disrespectful comments and wolf-whistles – the builders would even come out of the site to whistle as she passed them, and, on one occasion, one of the men deliberately blocked her path. Smart described the behaviour as “incredibly intimidating” and said it had led her to consider changing her route to work.

After a month, she reported the behaviour both to the firm who employed the men and to the police. The police investigated, but dropped the case when Smart was satisfied it had been handled internally.​
