- Abstract
This study aims to describe how the college student’s perceptions and experiences deal with the catcalling phenomenon and the campus’ exertion in responding to the catcalling phenomenon at the State University of Malang. The research method is qualitative with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques and sources were gathered from interviews, observations, and documentation. Data analysis was grouped into three stages: data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. This research was conducted through phenomenological methods by Alfred Schutz, Edmund Husserl, and Sigmund Freud’s Psychoanalysis. The results revealed that the student’s perception of catcalling is one of the acts of verbal sexual harassment in the form of greetings and sexual teasing with the motive of playing or joking and caused by a lack of self-control and socialization from the campus. The campus’ exertion for governing this phenomenon is through socialization programs, handling, and campaigns to stop catcalling to construct a safe and comfortable public space in the campus environment.
