The belief that sexist and sexual harassment would disappear from the public space following the implementation of successive containment and physical distancing measures is utopian. Indeed, according to an international study conducted in early 2021, nearly one in five women in France has experienced at least one form of sexual harassment in the public space since the beginning of the pandemic. The most frequently encountered forms of harassment were suggestive noises and gestures.
