Although the last decades have seen an advance in equality and empowerment for women, there are still numerous challenges to be addressed. Among them, and particularly pressing in cities, are issues of gender-based violence, including sexual harassment in public spaces. Despite the numerous effects that street harassment has on women, and the high incidence of it in different countries, this issue has not been broadly studied, and even less so in cities in the Global South. This study aims to characterise the ways in which women in Bogotá experience sexual harassment in public spaces, specifically focusing on public transport and including vehicles, stations, stops and walking routes to and from their origins or destinations.

Focusing on this objective, this study made use of a mixed-method approach, including an online self-completing questionnaire, as well as in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data gathered showed that sexual harassment in public transport – and public space – is widespread in Bogotá, and intersections with age and class play a very important role. Additionally, episodes of sexual harassment are widely under-reported, and there is a general perception that reporting is useless, which is supported by accounts of women who have tried to report an incident and have faced several difficulties. Finally, policies proposed so far in Bogotá have been unsuccessful in reducing sexual harassment in public transport and, in many cases, do not tackle the problem. Consequently, a comprehensive set of policies aimed at preventing and reducing sexual harassment in different spaces associated with public transport must be put in place.

尽管在过去的几十年中，妇女在平等和赋权方面取得了进步，但仍有许多挑战需要解决。其中，特别是城市紧迫的是基于性别的暴力问题，包括在公共场所的性骚扰。尽管街头骚扰对妇女产生了许多影响，而且在不同国家中骚扰的发生率很高，但这个问题尚未得到广泛的研究，在全球南方的城市中甚至更少。这项研究旨在描述波哥大妇女在公共场所遭受性骚扰的方式，特别关注公共交通，包括往返于其起点或终点的车辆，车站，车站和步行路线。

围绕此目标，本研究采用了一种混合方法，包括在线自我完成调查表以及深入的半结构化访谈。收集到的数据表明，在波哥大，公共交通和公共场所的性骚扰十分普遍，与年龄和阶级的交汇处起着非常重要的作用。此外，性骚扰事件的报道被少报，并且普遍认为举报是无用的，这得益于试图举报事件并面临若干困难的妇女的说法。最后，到目前为止，在波哥大提出的政策在减少公共交通中的性骚扰方面并未取得成功，而且在许多情况下并未解决该问题。所以，
