Using the hashtag #DontTellMeHowToDress, women have told how they were groped and harassed at Songkran in previous years. “This is the first time women are saying enough is enough,” said Thai-American model and TV host Cindy Bishop, who started the #DontTellMeHowToDress campaign. “Modest clothing doesn’t protect women from sexual assault,” a Thai woman posted on Twitter with the hashtag, which has gone viral in Thailand. It's dumb that someone lays the blame on women and the way they dress,rather than the jerks who harass women. It’s hard in that situation when everyone is having a good time,” she said, urging authorities to step up enforcement and issue warnings to revellers against sexual harassment.
