What is Whistle?
Whistle is a movement that wishes to prevent and fight Verbal Sexual Harassment/catcalling in sports. This project is funded by the European Commission and involves municipalities and associations from many countries such as Italy (USMA, Si pùo fare, Comune di Padova), Turkey (SPELL), Bulgaria (Courage Foundation) Greece (KEAN, ELLINIKI OMOSPONDIA PETOSFAIRISIS) Poland (Fundacja Instytut Partnerstwa Strategicznego) and Spain (Actividades Alternativas).
What is Catcalling and VSH?
Catcalling is defined as a series of behaviors including whistles, gestures, comments and unwanted sexual advances, implemented to attract the attention mainly of women in the streets and other public places by strangers. Including a strong component of objectification, catcalling can be considered a form of verbal harassment, as it is an unwanted behavior with a sexual connotation that offends a person’s dignity. It is a discriminatory attitude since it is practiced mainly by men toward the female gender. These kinds of gestures, based on gender discrimination, violate the principle of equal treatment between men and women. Catcalling is a growing phenomenon that happens every day to many young women and girls and affects their lives: many start to feel uncomfortable or afraid walking down the street and wearing whatever they want, or practicing their favorite sport, to a point that can lead to sport drop-out. Catcalling can be hidden in statements that, at first glance, may seem like appreciations.
Verbal sexual Harassment in sports environments refers to repeated and continuous inappropriate behaviors of a sexual nature, including comments, touching, sending or posting photos, messages and/or requests.
All of these are a type of sexual harassment and are a violation of the victim’s civil rights.
