This research uses a qualitative approach with the main data source being interviews with Unhasy campus students who experienced catcalling. Apart from that, data was also obtained through observation and documentation studies. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive and interpretation methods. Referring to the research results, show that Law Number 12 of 2022 has relevance in efforts to protect the rights of women who are victims of sexual harassment, including catcalling.
