The street sexual harassment - Part 2 Inspired by a video that I watched on Facabook a long time ago, I gave them a taste of their own medicine (this is the link of the video if you want to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMAf6NZ5o60&list=LLCWNpnxbipjYOyZpLsyyHng&index=2 ). So, what I did was this: when this guy told me a phrase that really made me anger and crossed the line, I pretended to give him a kiss with my hand and smile, but after that, I immediately showed my middle finger to him and changed my smile by a serious face again. I wish I could have recorded that moment! That guy was so ashamed! And I could see his annoyance in his face. I could do that since they were in an ambulance and I knew they couldn’t do anything worse against me. I know that there is an article in the Penal Code of El Salvador which tells us that anyone who has a behavior in public that involves unwanted phrases, touching, signs or any other unwanted sexual conduct will be sanctioned with prison of three or five years. Nevertheless, that is not enough since is it necessary the existence of more severity against the street sexual harassment, mainly to protect the women integrity. In many cases, the aggressors are not aware that they are exercising a type of violence; they are not interested to know it either. We can note that women are being constantly harassed no matter the place, the conditions, and much less, the clothes we wear. The street sexual harassment is a phenomenon that is getting more power and becoming more intense, for that reason we have to be change's agents. Likewise, the Governments have to work and qualify that problem as a kind of violence truly.

The street sexual harassment - Part 2

Inspired by a video that I watched on Facabook a long time ago, I gave them a taste of their own medicine (this is the link of the video if you want to watch it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vMAf6NZ5o60&list=LLCWNpnxbipjYOyZpLsyyHng&index=2 ). So, what I did was this: when this guy told me a phrase that really made me anger and crossed the line, I pretended to give him a kiss with my hand and smiled, but after that, I immediately showed my middle finger to him and changed my smile by back to a serious face again. I wish I could have recorded that moment! That guy was so ashamed! And I could see his annoyance in his face. I could do that since they were in an ambulance and I knew they couldn’t do anything worse against to me.

I know that there is an article in the Penal Code of El Salvador which tells us says that anyone whose has a behavior in public that involves unwanted phrases, touching, signs or any other unwanted sexual conduct will be sanctioned sentenced  (you cold also use the words "punished" or "penalized") with prison of three or five years. Nevertheless, that is not enough since is it not necessarily the existence of more severe punishments against the street sexual harassment, it is in place mainly to protect the woman's integrity.

In many cases, the aggressors are not aware that they are exercising a type of violence and they are not interested to know it either. We can note that women are being constantly harassed no matter the place, the conditions, and much less the clothes we wear.

The street sexual harassment is a phenomenon that is getting more powerful and becoming more intense and for that reason we have to be the agents of change. Likewise, the Government has to work harder and qualify state that street sexual harassment is problem and is truly a kind of violence.
