There are a few lucky women who have never been harassed during their lives, for example, when they went out to have a good time in the evening. But can an oversized shirt protect us from rude comments from men?
After New York and the United Kingdom, the phenomenon of megalopolis began to spread in Hungary as well.

Whistle after him down the street“Or even physical bullying,” says Vera Miro. “We also often encounter blaming the victim for what he expected when he dressed like this.

It’s not about women, it’s about society
The expert says that there is progress on this topic – because at least we are talking about it – but it is sad that in the 21st century, our job is to make sure that women can feel safe when they leave the house at night.
“4-5 years ago, I launched an appeal on my page #What to wear? with the title. 3,500 comments were received, and each woman reported some unpleasant situation for her, from whistling to physical atrocities. Many people think that if they follow all the rules – for example, they wear clothes that cover their bodies –No harm to them. But this is not so.“
