She further advised that your “YES” or “NO” must be balanced with your physical action. As a lady\, you shouldn’t be saying NO to Sexual approach or harassment and still let your guards down\, as this may be seen as affirmative for the opposite sex. \nFurthermore\, she said that even though some ladies may dress indecently\, yet this doesn’t justify that such a person should be forced to have sex (rape). She also mentioned that an average of 2 among every 10 boys have also experienced molestation\, which means both genders are capable of being a victim. \n                         \nFor more images of the event\, click  https://www.facebook.com/pg/yeswearewinning/photos/?tab=album&album_id=2712766082074185&__xts__%5B0%5D=68.ARAqA21pY075JIZCRPS9hc_r_p3bLSo5F5A4mkFDpAqCp75g7JRUegOKN3BVSKi97ikEuex6Gqv1TltS4B9X_GBtmF9Vm75WraDj8va8VuFkPPqoFDXDq9tEDXr5zhR4URGmmCh8I1muAJnJwF_aUg7di4HKcSRB-DpdEDxs-VT3Cp2fuaJllalW9OhwsAgda2329BJnej7zrtG_WFxvr8vlodt3-8EEMgg2KFtjXLfuHdH6sFkB3TMg15khFN4uJpYi63jQSt5Y-c13wWIq0chQsA7GQ5BQAwT2Elr68VutAVe_T_aSZdDvVYzJ1hldgz7B2GAnLi98k_0yLK5OBA8tF0SGcmJHe1i7XEC8KItpoB4Ayn8VGK3xRNO3mYojJNxYF-ci6P1BE_GiVyXlEIdn0pw8JyNuNYdBHTOebBCcIodXSaK0xcgSNqLWemuq2vKLhYnkf4xyNdKRrYYR8TCvPw&__tn__=-UC-R \n\n \nInternational Women’s Day Symposium \n\nFinally\, she encouraged the students to speak out and seek for help in case of any sexual molestation or abuse.
