L'Oréal Paris is committed to Stand Up Against Street Harassment

According to an international study by L’Oréal Paris with research partner Ipsos , street harassment was identified as the most important issue faced by women across the world. Indeed, street harassment is a barrier in women’s daily life, robbing their sense of security and feelings of self-worth. It goes against the values of women empowerment, at the heart of L’Oréal Paris’ DNA. That is why L’Oréal Paris is committed to Stand Up Against Street Harassment globally.
