TW: sexual harassment
Stories of sexual harassment as Sri Lankans brave crowded 🚌 🚂 to travel amid #FuelCrisisLK should concern all of us.
Whether you commute daily or only catch the bus or train occasionally, there are times when we witness sexual harassment. [contd.]
My team member turned up to work Yday, crying&completely shaken up..Some bastard had been rubbing up on her the entire way to work on that packed train. She’s a quiet lady so was scared to say anything out of fear of being ganged up on instead of helped. Yea I’m angry

It was a pleasure to talk about the @CreateASceneLK campaign on IWD 2020, organized by @ADTSriLanka. The issue was seen prevalent but asking to intervene is reaching the public and so many positive response are seen. #NotonMybus#IWD2020

The worst part about this is that it doesn’t even scare me anymore. It’s like routine, yeah it could happen. Today it’s just catcalling, it could be something else tomorrow. The next time you ask #WhyIMarch just think about the privilege that you have.
This very fear is part of our lives now. So normalized. The men on the bicycle who thought it would be funny to grab my bag as I was crossing the road probably didn’t think twice about it but to me, I was just grateful it was my bag and not me.
