Ep 057: Nic Kim Column - The Subtle Forms of Harassment We Ignore

Something Private

Have you ever been stared at by a stranger in public for too long? Or been told a sexual joke by a friend which made you uncomfortable?

A study by the UN revealed that 97 percent of women in the U.K. aged 18 to 24 have experienced some form of harassment in public, but over 70 percent endure it. In this episode, Nicole and Kim discuss the difficulties of navigating boundaries in school and a new workplace, how to speak up when we are uncomfortable, and what allies can do to make the world a safer place for all of us.
