In my view...
Everyone should take this seriously... dun think that sexual haraassment is too personal o too private because if u think so u may just suffer it by urself... nobody can helps u... U have the rights to voice out to prevent sexual harassment anywhere... althought it is not easily be proven but i think that if we voice out at least we can get attention from other ppl from help o get away from it...
