Mumbai catcallers - not part of the picture

Women on the mean streets of Mumbai in India appear to be safer than those in New York city, according to India's own version of the viral catcall video.

The original video, launched by the Hollaback project, documented a woman walking the streets of New York being harrassed, cat-called and propositioned over the course of 10 hours.

But in Mumbai, a video produced under similar conditions shows a woman freely walking the streets, day and night, without being subject to any form of harrassment whatsoever, the Business Insider Australia reports.

A similar experiment was in carried out in New Zealand on Auckland's Queen Street which showed a woman walking the streets being stopped twice; once she was asked if she was Italian and told she looked nice, the second to ask her for directions.
