It's time to:
Be outspoken.

"While I was lying on the floor shivering with fear, my worst fear was that nobody will believe me.
Yes, that is the biggest challenge that young people face that nobody trusts them or their story." -- @UpasanaC@UNMGCY at #CSW63.
"It's important to engage men and boys, all ages, so that they take the responsibility. This is not women's work. This is the work of society." -- @phumzileunwomen #CSW63
Justice delayed is justice denied. Why? Because the victims have to go through the trauma of being in the witness box again & again giving every dirty detail. The more you delay justice, the more trauma victims have to go through #EndSexualHarassment
"We are the warriors who learned to love the pain. We come from different places, but have the same name... We are the broken ones who chose to spark a flame..." -- @UpasanaC@UNMGCY at #CSW63 event on ending sexual harassment.
It wasn’t easy at all to share! Young people are never believed because the world choose to believe in the perpetrators more than us. We need to end the “VICTIM BLAMING” and hold perpetrators accountable #EndSexualHarassment

"No institution is immune to sexual harassment & abuse of power. What #MeToo has done is to expose to all of us the prevalence of violations of women in every sector, in every strata of society. That ushered a new era." -- @UN_Women ED @phumzileunwomen at #CSW63
"It's important to create a culture where everybody takes the responsibility to create a workplace and an environment that is safe. It is not okay to be a bystander." -- @phumzileunwomen at #CSW63 event on sexual harassment.
That is why we @manupcampaign are working towards engaging Men and Boys so that they step up & Manup and take the right responsibilities #manup#CSW63
