Transcript: What your peers say: Sexual harassment
[Text, what your peers say.
[Veronica playing the drums. Text: Veronica]
Veronica: I think sexual harassment is anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
[Jessica at a lake. Text: Jessica]
Jessica: Maybe somebody touching you a certain way when you didn't really give them any reason why they should feel comfortable doing that.
Victoria: Putting yourself in their way constantly when that person has already expressed that they don't want you doing that stuff.
[Text: Victoria. What your peers say about sexual harassment. Stefania]
Stefania: Sexual harassment isn't just something that people can do to you but it's also what they can say.
Jessica: A comment or an action that has a sexual manner to it that is just enough to make somebody feel uncomfortable, insecure or like they're in danger.
[Text: Luisa]
Luisa: Definitely I'll be uncomfortable when someone comes up to me and touches me, like even my hand, if I don't know you why are you touching me?
[Text: DON’T INVITE IT]
Veronica: You can invite sexual harassment without meaning to if you dress in a certain way or if you act a certain way.
Victoria: If she says stop but she's smiling while she says it, he can not only have the impression that she's flirting but he can have the impression she's playing hard to get.
[Text: DON’T TOLERATE IT]
Her not telling him to leave her alone is conveying to him that she does enjoy the sexual harassment, and he will push it further to means that she doesn't like and means that she doesn't want.
Veronica: If they constantly feel that they can touch you or speak to you in a certain way, then you have no obligation to continue spending time with them.
[Close up, Veronica plays drums]
You have to listen to yourself and as soon as you feel uncomfortable with something you have to let someone know sternly. Maybe they're not even aware that they're making you feel uncomfortable.
[Text: Let your ‘no’ mean ‘no.’ Matthew 5:37]
