Abstract

Uznemiravanje na javnim mjestima je pojava u današnjem društvu te predstavlja svakodnevni problem za mnoge žene. Kada govorimo o uznemiravanju na javnim mjestima, govorimo o ponašanjima poput pohotnog zurenja, dobacivanja, fućkanja, uhođenja i slično. Sva se ponašanja događaju na javnim mjestima, usmjerena su od muškarca prema ženi, a spomenuti muškarac i žena međusobno su stranci. Unatoč rezultatima istraživanja koji pokazuju da su za žene takva ponašanja uistinu neugodna te doprinose tome da se žene zbog njih ne osjećaju sigurno, društvo ovaj problem često trivijalizira pa tako ne postoje ni pravne sankcije za ovakva ponašanja. Štoviše, društvo često smatra da su takva ponašanja komplimentarna, a jednako često za uznemiravanje krivi žrtvu, odnosno njen izgled, način odijevanja ili ponašanje. Međutim, istraživanja ukazuju na učestalost tog problema, kao i na brojne posljedice koje uznemiravanje na javnim mjestima ima za žene. To su, na primjer,, anksioznost, povećan strah od viktimizacije, samoobjektivizacija, ali i ekonomske i bihevioralne posljedice. Jednako tako, istraživanja pokazuju da muškarci na uznemiravanje ne gledaju kao na ozbiljan problem te nisu svjesni kakve posljedice njihovo ponašanje ima. Pojavom društvenih mreža javio se i online aktivizam koji se nastoji boriti protiv uznemiravanja na javnim mjestima, osvijestiti društvo te pružiti podršku žrtvama.

Abstract (english)

Harassment in public is incredibly common in today's society and presents a major problem to many women. When talking about harassment in public, we are talking about behaviours such as lustful staring, catcalling, wolf-whistling, and stalking. All such behaviours take place in a public place, are directed from a man to a woman, and said man and woman are complete strangers. Research show that such behaviours are incredibly uncomfortable for women and contribute to them feeling unsafe. However, in spite of this, society often trivialises this issue and there are no legal sanctions for such behaviours. Moreover, society often sees such behaviour as complimentary and will often blame the victim for the harassment; her appearance, manner of dress or behaviour. However, research indicates how common this issue is for women, as well as the many consequences that harassment in public places has for women. These are, for example, anxiety, increased fear of victimisation, self-objectification, as well as economic and behavioural consequences. Equally, research shows that men do not view harassment as a serious problem and are unaware of the consequences of their behaviour. With the rise of social media, online activism has emerged, which seeks to combat harassment in public places, raise awareness and provide support to victims.
