French campaign targets sexual harassment

France launched a public awareness campaign on Monday in a bid to stop the crude comments, groping and even sexual violence that women face on the city’s public transport lines.
Posters went up at stations around the country with fictitious metro stops labelled with comments such as: “Hello, Mademoiselle,” “You’re lovely,” “Let’s get to know each other,” and “Is that short skirt for me?”
The remarks get increasingly aggressive from, “You’re hot, you’re turning me on,” to “Answer me, dirty bitch”. The poster then states: “Stop – that’s enough” (Stop – ça suffit).
