Abstract
Research shows that women are disproportionality targets of sexual harassment in public places, e.g. whistling, staring and lewd comments. Negative encounters with men can lead to the fear of sexual harassment and women can act differently to avoid these unpleasant male behaviours to decrease their feeling of fear, also known as: coping strategies. This research is about the role of the fear of sexual harassment in public places in the daily life of young women in Groningen. Using qualitative data collected by semi-structured interviews of eight young women and a Geographical Information Programme: this research gives insight to the perception of sexual harassment of the women in Groningen, the causes of this fear and their coping strategies regards to sexual harassment. Besides, the public places the women prefer to avoid in Groningen are visualized in two maps.
