My research question is: Do women feel safe on the streets of New York?
This topic interests me because as a woman I donât feel safe on the streets of New York. Every time I turn on my tv or go on social media there always a post on how a woman was attacked or was verbal harassed. I have been in many situations like this where I would get verbal harassed or in other words âcatcalledâ. I could be minding my own business heading to work when I hear a male voice by my ear say some inappropriate words. I just keep walking like it didnât happen but itâs sad that as women we go through this on a daily. And I know Iâm not the only one who goes though these disgusting verbal harassments. I see a lot of people say itâs because the way you dress but on the contrary, I can be wearing the baggiest clothes to do laundry and there always someone to comment on my appearance. Overall catcalling is terrifying because you never know what can happen it can sometimes just be verbal harassment or sometimes it can lead to physical harassment. Which is so unfair to women they constantly must live in fear not knowing if theyâre going to be safe walking outside.

Please follow the proposal paragraph template more carefully.
I believe I helped you to reword this question better — please reword. YOur question is about safety and not catkilling or being harassed. So it’s not really what you want.
This might be old — — and I don’t know what this source is reliable or not — that would be your job — you can consider and examine — maybe it would give you some clues as to wording and finding more current sources: https://www.gothamgazette.com/index./city/6468-nearly-six-years-after-landmark-street-harassment-hearing-no-measureable-progress
