Street harassment is a widespread problem that affects women from all backgrounds, often leading to negative psychological consequences such as anxiety, depression, and reduced self-worth. Despite the pioneering development of laws protecting women’s rights, Spanish culture often normalizes this type of violence against women, and research on this context remains limited. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional study with 245 women in Spain to investigate the occurrence and impact of street harassment on psychological well-being. We used the Street Harassment Assessment Scale, a self-report measure designed to evaluate the prevalence and frequency of street harassment, and explored its association with anxiety, fear of rape, avoidance behavior, self-esteem, and adherence to sexist beliefs. The results showed that 98% of women experienced street harassment, with 80% reporting monthly occurrences. The frequency of street harassment was correlated with increased anxiety, fear of rape and avoidance behavior, and lower self-esteem. Additionally, the results supported the link between the endorsement of sexist ideology and lower identification of events. Collectively, the results underscore the negative impact of street harassment on women’s well-being and freedom, highlighting its role as a patriarchal tool that perpetuates female objectification and subordination. An integrative feminist perspective involving various fields, including psychology, public policy, and education, among others, is necessary to create safer environments for women.

街头骚扰是一个普遍存在的问题，影响着各种背景的女性，常常导致负面的心理后果，如焦虑、抑郁和自我价值感下降。尽管保护妇女权利的法律取得了开创性的发展，但西班牙文化往往使这种针对妇女的暴力行为正常化，对此背景的研究仍然有限。为了解决这一差距，我们对西班牙 245 名女性进行了一项横断面研究，以调查街头骚扰的发生情况及其对心理健康的影响。我们使用了街头骚扰评估量表，这是一种自我报告措施，旨在评估街头骚扰的普遍性和频率，并探讨了其与焦虑、对强奸的恐惧、回避行为、自尊和坚持性别歧视信仰的关系。结果显示，98% 的女性经历过街头骚扰，其中 80% 的女性报告每月都会发生一次。街头骚扰的频率与焦虑、对强奸和回避行为的恐惧增加以及自尊心降低相关。此外，结果支持了对性别歧视意识形态的认可与较低的事件识别率之间的联系。总的来说，研究结果强调了街头骚扰对妇女福祉和自由的负面影响，强调了其作为父权制工具的作用，使女性物化和从属地位永久化。为女性创造更安全的环境，需要采用涉及心理学、公共政策和教育等各个领域的综合女权主义视角。
