Everyday women are harassed while accessing public spaces. However, this harassment is mistakenly regarded as a compliment or “getting hit on”. Within this background, it is possible to show how the genre differences are orchestrated in order to produce inequalities while sharing public spaces. This essay aims to understand how the naturalization of sexual harassment may affect women’s lives, and how society reacts in sexual harassment situations. The main question asked: what enables harassment on women? In order to answer that, I collected several testimonies of women who were suffered harassment episodes while using Aracaju’s public transportation system. Also, through field report and passenger interviews, I aim to identify if such conduct is recognized as inappropriate.
