Condemn all sexual abuseA recent protest by a young woman in student uniform, who held up a sign which read "I am a victim of sexual harassment" and "school is not a safe place for students", triggered a public frenzy, but in different ways. The young protester insisted her action was a symbolic protest, and that she had experienced sexual harassment while in school a few years ago. There have been numerous high-profile sexual abuse cases committed by school teachers that shocked society this year. Their behaviour gives the impression that they believe as a pro-democracy activist, she deserved the sexual harassment. This is unfortunate as sexual abuse is simply not acceptable.
