In France, in 2024, 790 percent of women already say they have been afraid to return home alone at night. Women have adopted strategies to avoid sexist behavior or, worse, sexual harassment from men. Thus, more than half of French women have already given up going out and doing activities alone, such as going to a restaurant alone or traveling alone. More than half of women have also already given up dressing as they wished for fear of looks or comments.
