Just days after a video of a young woman being attacked by a man who sexually harassed her outside a cafe went massively viral and outraged France, French politicians have voted to approve a new law, which has been in the works for months, that imposes on-the-spot fines for sexual harassment in public places. Marie Laguerre was walking home from work in northeast Paris last month when she says a man started making obscene comments and noises at her. When she told him to shut up, she says he threw an ashtray at her that only just missed, then approached her and physically assaulted her. The entire incident was captured by the cafe’s CCTV and shared with Laguerre, who posted the video across social media this week. An investigation has been opened into the man in the CCTV footage, but he has not been identified (📹: Marie Laguerre / Facebook) - #marielaguerre #catcalling #catcall #catcaller #sexualharassment #violence #streetharassment #harassment #attack #cctv #street #woman #women #girl #girls #man #men #metoo #timesup #victim #feminism #video #paris #france #french
