sexual harassment

Whenever sexual harassment happens, there is a victim and an abuser. Often there are also witnesses and observers—people who saw what happened, people who were nearby during the incident. Usually witnesses don’t intervene—they don’t defend the victim, they don’t confront the abuser. I believe that, whenever we see another person getting harassed in front of our eyes, we shouldn’t stay passive and silent any longer; instead we should speak up and tell the abuser that this kind of behavior is inappropriate and won’t be ignored and tolerated.
