Step 4: Be Careful
At the end of the day, If you are travelling down the same route everyday though - you know your calling out might have repercussions. Let’s face it, at the end of the day because of the system we live in, we end up losing out more than the perpetrator does. A revenge assault can lead us into a worse nightmare. So unfortunately, keeping a cautionary guard up at all times while on public transport has become a necessary measure. Therefore, always carry some form of protection - a taser gun,
pepper spray, or even your
keys. It is unfortunate that we have to carry protection in our own city, but sometimes the world just isn’t all that fair.
Finally, do remember that our world has good men too. And good women. Talk to your friends, your families, your colleagues. Through your message, they will learn how to step in and intervene the next time someone is being harassed before them. Teach everyone around to be responsible for how the society behaves. Sexual harassment is not just your problem alone, it is the problem of every bystander, every passerby. So just learn to speak out, and encourage others to do the same.
Who knows, if it works, then maybe our future generations might have no need for this article at all.
