(Reuters photo)A row over a woman who held up a sign alleging sexual abuse in schools has put a spotlight on harassment in the education system. Ms Nalinrat, now a university student, had made allegations on social media of being sexually harassed at school several years ago. A YouGov poll in 2019 found that one in five Thais had experienced sexual harassment, with men almost as likely to face it as women. The most common form of sexual harassment was sexual assault — reported by 44% of those who had suffered harassment.
