LETTER | It is not a joke, it is sexual harassment A - LETTER | What is acceptable behaviour for one person is not always acceptable to another. It’s time to stop trivialising sexual harassment, victim-shaming and body-shaming. It is high time to stop telling the complainant not to over-react. It is not over-reaction if it bothers one’s safety, wellbeing or mental health. It takes a lot of courage to speak up and to have uncomfortable discussions. Kudos to Ain Husniza Saiful Nizam for having the guts to stand her ground. Soroptimist International Region of Malaysia stands with her. An apology or retraction of an offensive statement does not even the score. To do so is to set a dangerous precedent. We have to see better and more genuine efforts to address the recent flood of complaints of callous and dismissive statements and disturbing conduct among some educators. Perpetrators have to be dealt with accordingly.
