If you experience harassment,
speak up!
Harassment takes many forms, which is why it is so important to be able to understand it first, to spot it. It typically looks like unwanted touching, hurtful obscene/sexually-coloured language, or threats. Sometimes people see a situation and mis-label it as teasing, catcalling, or even flirting. That’s why it is important to really think about what you’re experiencing and then speak about it.
