“Femme de la rue” is a documentary, made by Sofie Peeters, about sexism in the streets of Brussels. The documentary shows how, whenever she came out of her house, she was solicited for sex and sexually harassed. The sexual harassment was mainly done by foreign men, as seen in the video.
I’m not sure multiculturalism is working in Belgium, particularly not when it involves such dramatic differences in views on sexuality and women:
A BELGIAN woman who made a film about being harassed on the streets of Brussels has been accused of racism because the men she secretly recorded pestering her are of immigrant origin.
Sofie Peeters, a graduate film student, used a hidden camera to record a barrage of verbal abuse from men of all ages as she walked around a district of Brussels in a summer dress and boots.
Extracts of the film, posted on the internet, show the 24-year-old being approached by men asking for sex. Polite refusals are greeted with shouts of “whore” and “bitch”. Critics accused Ms Peeters, a Fleming, of racism, pointing out that the men in the film were of North African origin. The footage was shot in the immigrant Anneessens district.
