Sexual Harassment Should Not Go Unreported “Sexual harassment can take many different forms from catcalls on the street, to demands for sexual favours in return for benefits or entitlements at the work place to harassment in public transport. It can therefore take place in the street, in the workplace, in universities and in public transport. It is so pervasive in the context of Sri Lanka that many of us are conditioned from childhood to accept sexual harassment as a way of life and not to question it.” (Shyamala Gomez- Violence Against Women) Sri Lanka is a country where Sexual Harassment happens in a daily routine. From ‘simple’ incidents at public transportation to the recent incidents of ragging, sexually harassed victims emerge in the society. In proportion to the unreported cases, the social vulnerability increases while making the community harmful and unsafe. Therefore it is a social duty to stand against Sexual Harassment.
