Day 11 | Stories of resistance | Share yours!
Chances are, most of us have encountered some kind of harassment, whether online or offline. Each encounter is different, depending on who the harasser is, where you are when it happened, the context of the harassment etc. When caught in the moment, we might sometimes find it hard to respond, especially if the situation has never been encountered before. But when we are armed with the knowledge of experience, reflection and discussion, we are better able to know what to say and do to define the context, draw the line, and communicate clearly that the action, comment or gesture is not acceptable. How have you turned the situation around? What was your strategy to transform a threatening and unsafe space into one where you felt safe and in control?
