Sexual Harassment: Support & Healing
What happened is not your fault. Your feelings are valid, and there are people and resources that can support you at your own pace.
Sexual harassment is any unwelcome sexual behaviour, comment, gesture, message, or contact that makes you feel uncomfortable, unsafe, or degraded. It can happen at work, in school, in public, online, or at home, and it can affect anyone. It is never the survivor's fault. Common reactions include fear, shame, anger, confusion, and difficulty trusting others or feeling safe. Support, safety, and being believed can make a real difference to healing, and you decide what steps feel right for you.
- Remember clearly: it is not your fault, whatever you wore, said, or did
- Move to a safe place and, if you can, speak to someone you trust
- Write down what happened, with dates, places, and any messages, if and when you feel ready
