Thailand has not seen a Harvey Weinstein-like scandal, but sexual harassment occurs every day to a large number of women, especially on public transport. The most common place for harassment to occur is on a bus, which makes up 50% of all sexual harassment cases found on public transport. The Safe Cities for Women campaign was thus born, encouraging everyone to "butt in" and intervene when injustice and harassment plays out in front of them. It goes to show that the victim's clothes really have nothing to do with -- and are not what instigate -- sexual harassment. "What we should focus on instead is that public transport should be a safe space for everyone," she said.
