Certain dresses provoke sexual harassment and violence.

Any act that happens with a woman at a place where she has gone willingly must be consensual.

Any act under the influence of alcohol or drugs does not amount to sexual harassment or violence.

It is sexual harassment only if it is committed by stranger(s).

If the act is not reported immediately, then it did not happen or was consensual.

Do's and Don'ts, in case you were harassed

Do not feel ashamed or blame yourself.

Keep a detailed record (dates, times, places, names of harasser(s) and witnesses) of all incidents related to the harassment.

State firmly to the harasser that you find his behavior inappropriate/offensive.

Do not ignore the act of the harasser assuming that it will stop by its own. Raise your voice.
