In an effort to make the city safer for women, Calgary council is considering the creation of an anti-street harassment bylaw.
Council voted unanimously in favour of a motion to review its public safety bylaws and look at creating a bylaw to address the issue, especially for groups like women who are more at risk, on Tuesday evening.
Coun. Druh Farrell said since she brought forward the motion, she s received abusive comments on social media, and heard from female reporters interviewing her on the topic that they ve been victims of harassment too showing the need to take action.
