Sexual harassment on the street will be made a crime with jail sentences of up to two years, the government has said.
A bill introduced by Tunbridge Wells MP Greg Clark will see wolf-whistling, catcalling and staring persistently become an offence in England.
Sexual harassment is already illegal but it is hoped creating a new offence for street harassment will encourage more people to report it to police.
