Asking A Woman For Her Phone Number May Become Illegal In One Country by kmaxx(m): 4:54pm On Sep 22, 2017
Can we have something as this in Nigeria?



Asking a woman for her
phone number may
become illegal in one
country




France is working on putting an end to
street harassment. The nation has
announced a ban on bugging women for
their phone numbers and following them.
The crackdown comes after a survey
revealed that virtually all women in France
have been harassed on public
transportation.
During his election campaign, France’s
new leader, Emmanuel Macron, has
pledged to end the harassment.
Gender equality minister, Marlene
Schiappa, is attempting to define the
punishment for street harassment.
Some lawyers say such instances would
be difficult to prove and that men should
only be prosecuted if a police officer
witnesses an offense.
Of course, street harassment is nothing
new. In New York, offenders can be
slapped with a $250 fine, AOL reports.
