What can we do about street harassment

Hello all, I usually lurk in AIBU. A recent thread on there about street harassment has moved me and hopefully others to a debate about what to do about this.
Hopefully a more experienced mumsnetter can post a link to it, in case you are interested.
The OP znaika suggested an on the spot 50 euro fine. Actually public guidance on unacceptable behaviour (like racist comments) has worked. Who's up for kicking a few ideas about?

Oh hi! Good to see you from the other thread.

I think the thing I've taken most from the other thread is that there really are men out there who seem to honestly believe that women are unreasonable if they object to men trying to hit on them.

The idea of an on the spot fine is a really good one. In some areas OTS fines have reduced the amount of dog shit laying around, so I think it might work similarly.
