Rogacion is offering the flyers to fellow women who face harassment on the street, but don't know how to deal with it.

"Hi, handsome, here's my number" reads the message on one, before listing the fines and jail time for sexual harassment. She also lists the contact numbers for the Psychiatry and Behavioural Medicine department in the Philippine General Hospital, as well as the Philippine Commission on Women.

While we don't advocate violence as revenge, another flyer comes straight to the point, showing the cross-sections of a penis and testicles with the text: "What I'll do to you if you don't stop harassing women."

Rogacion told Mashable: "Street harassment is as much an everyday problem as it is under-researched and poorly prevented.

"Harassment will not stop (with) ignorance."

She said on Facebook that these flyers were created after a friend told her about her experience of being followed and harassed by a man:

"I'm aware that things like these won't work overnight, but it is sincerely overwhelming that this small step has gotten so many positive reactions, not only from women but from men alike," Rogacion said. "It gets tiring but the world won't be a better place if we don't fight for it, even when it refuses to change -- I hope this holds true for all other social issues that we are facing every day."

In Quezon City in the Philippines alone, nearly three out of five women have experienced sexual harassment at least once in their lifetime. 58 percent of those cases occurred outside on the street, according to a UN Women survey.
