When matters sexual harassment are discussed, most of the time the victims are women. Even when statistics are recorded, women and children are the most affected. However, the elephant in the room, and which many people fear to discuss, is where the men appear in these statistics. Are they just the perpetrators?
Turns out, men are just as vulnerable as women when it comes to sexual and gender-based violence. Not only that, most men report going through assault at the workplace. Sadly though, it has been established that most men do not even know when they are being sexually harassed especially by women. And for most men, even after being assaulted, find it hard to report fearing being labelled ‘weak’.
