Being a director starts with fighting domestic violence

"You disguised yourself very well indeed. But you are not among the media that I have arranged an appointment with."

Although Yi Congzhen could see that the girl was too young and didn't even look like a college student, she was a good actress and there were no obvious flaws in her clothing, manners, and expression, except that her face looked a little younger.

If she was a criminal, she would be a very difficult type to deal with.

Gao You breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately her acting skills had not deteriorated, but it was still not rigorous enough.

"It's like this, Professor Yi. I have a friend who works in a company. She was sexually harassed by her boss. She felt very painful, ashamed, and terrified. She didn't know what to do or how to face it.

I have comforted her, but I feel that my comfort is not enough. So, I want to ask Professor Yi, what should I do? "Gao You ignored the embarrassment and asked directly.

"Sexual harassment in the workplace?" Professor Yi frowned slightly when he heard this question.

"Yes. Many working women I know have encountered this situation. But it is usually difficult for them to handle it well. I would like to ask professionals what they should do on their behalf," said Gao You.

Professor Yi began to think about this problem.

In fact, she herself had encountered this problem when she was young.

How did she solve it?

She beat the other person until he was afraid.

However, she still felt uncomfortable for a while because of this.

It seems that decades have passed, and this is still a difficult problem that women in the workplace, or even all women, cannot avoid.

"In my personal opinion, first of all, we need to understand the criminal's psychological motivation."

Professor Yi said: "From the perspective of power structure, some perpetrators are actually uneasy about their own dominant position and power. They are afraid of the rise of women in the workplace, so they use sexual harassment as a means to maintain their power. This distorted mentality makes them not hesitate to infringe on the dignity and rights of others to satisfy their vanity and sense of security."

"Also, for thousands of years, they have been accustomed to stigmatizing and objectifying women, treating them as appendages and playthings. Not only do they enjoy this unequal relationship with peace of mind, they are also complacent about it and think they are the masters of society."

"In addition, some perpetrators also regard workplace sexual harassment as a means of controlling people. They use this behavior to satisfy their own psychological needs, trying to mentally control the victims and make them submit out of fear."

Gao You took notes while listening and agreed with Professor Yi's analysis.

Then, Professor Yi talked about some practical prevention and response measures.

She stressed that it is necessary to start from multiple aspects such as legal system, corporate culture, personal qualities, and women should strengthen themselves, bravely say no, talk to people around them, and seek help.

Finally, Professor Yi gave her his contact information in Beijing so that she could contact him again if she needed anything in the future.

"Professor Yi, thank you for taking the time to answer these questions for me. Can I organize your words and share them with my friends?" Gao You gained a lot today.

"Of course. Your questions today are very meaningful and have given me some inspiration for the topic of my next lecture. I hope I can also make today's content public at the lecture." Professor Yi smiled for the first time today.

Gao You left the provincial capital's Law University and sorted out the notes she had taken after returning.

However, she felt that it was not enough.

She needed a more effective way to teach those ugly faces and dirty hands a more direct lesson.

However, things have to be done step by step.

Gao You already had some plans in mind.

The first step was to call Dai Meijiao, Xiong Dani and Chai Manning together to discuss something.

"Sister Manning, I think that the reason why sexual harassment is so common and rampant is that we are not strong enough, either physically or mentally, which is why they are so unscrupulous. Why don't we hold an activity to teach women self-defense?"

What Gao You meant was that, at the beginning, the free artistic photo taking activity should be changed into free self-defense training for women, and then this activity should be slowly transformed into an independent fitness class.

Every evening or weekend, she would hold some self-defense activities and share with them the psychological analysis of the perpetrators and the coping methods of the victims that she had collected from Professor Yi.

Since sexual harassment is so common, we need to come up with more effective ways to deal with it.

It may be difficult for one person to face it, but what about two people, three people, or ten people?

Then your power will increase and the enemies you face will become insignificant.

"We should not avoid sexual harassment as a topic that is difficult to talk about," said Gao You.

“Since the perpetrators of sexual harassment are so rampant and blatant, we must speak out about this behavior even louder and more brazenly than they are.”

When Chai Manning saw the determination in Gao You's eyes, the discomfort in her heart slowly dissipated.

Yes, it’s really difficult to face it alone.

Will it still be that difficult when there are two, three, or ten people?

If someone touches her again, she will loudly scold him and say, "Please don't do this, this is sexual harassment!"

Will he continue to act so recklessly?

Maybe, probably the other party will stop.

If the other party continues, then she will have no choice but to call the police.

It has come to that point. Can I still stay in that company?

So what does she have to worry about?

Is there any room for her to survive in a company like this?

Chai Manning was the first to raise her hand and agreed to learn women's self-defense.

Dai Meijiao and Xiong Dani also agreed.

Dai Meijiao changed the gathering of heroes into a program for women to learn self-defense techniques.

Xiong Dani is responsible for teaching.

As for Gao You, after some modifications, she went to the company where Chai Manning worked.

She was dressed in a gray-brown work jacket, rubber shoes, a mask, and carried a mop and a rag as she went in and out of various offices, but no one ever questioned her.

In the company, most people are very busy, and indeed no one will pay attention to someone who looks like a cleaner at first glance.

With this equipment, Gao You went in and out of various companies for a few days and took a lot of photos.

The event held by Qunyinghui, where consumers can take three free self-defense classes for women with a consumption of over 18 yuan, is also in full swing.

This activity received enthusiastic responses from many female employees, and many of them even asked to recharge 18 yuan first and start the class directly.

In response to this demand, Dai Meijiao started a membership recharge service. Anyone who becomes a member for free and recharges 18 yuan can take three free classes.

However, the current recharge limit is 18 yuan, which has dispelled the doubts of many people.

Even if I lose more, it’s only 18 yuan.
