In order to accomplish this, 301 female students in PSAU were surveyed using quantitative method. The findings showed that most of the female students are in the age range 18-20 years old, mostly are catholic. Most of them utilize internet as their source of information on street harassment. Results of the study revealed that female students generally have high knowledge regarding street harassment.

Also, it was determined that the female students were sometimes experiencing street harassment. With regards to their mental health status, they posted positive results in terms of their ability to enjoy life and self-actualization. Moreover, it was found out that their socio-demographic profile had nothing to do with their experiences on street harassment. Also, their ability to enjoy like had no significant relationship to the frequency of their street harassment experiences.
