介绍:
A woman was injured on a bus recently in Beijing after slapping a man for allegedly touching her body inappropriately, causing him to go after her with a knife.
According to eyewitnesses aboard the bus in theTongzhou District, the pervert touched the woman's butt two or three times before she finally took offense and slapped him across the face. She then took out her phone to snap the man's photo and threatened to call the police.
As she approached the front of the bus to speak with the driver, the man came at his victim with a fruit knife, slashing her near the throat.
In this edition of our show, we are going to discuss how to properly handle sexual harassment in public places.
We've just talked about a tragic case that involved sexual harassment on a bus. That raised the question of how to proper handle sexual harassment in public places.
1. What YOU can do if you are harassed:
1) A police officer who has handled multiple sexual assault cases that took place on the subway in Beijing advised women not to suffer in silence when being assaulted but rather to try to shout and ask for help from others. He suggests to shout words like 'what are you doing?' or 'don't touch me' if someone tries to sexually assault you in public.
2) Some suggest not to argue with the prevert. Some harassers might be stopped by a warning, but it might not work on some others.
3) From Ziqi: turn back and stare at them.
4) From Ziqi: some girls stamp on the toes of the perverts as hard as possible.
5) From Baidu: If you find some people stare at your body in an unpleasant way, stay away from him as soon as you can, if there's still room on the carriage.
6) Call the police if you feel danger. ( But how do you define "danger" under such circumstances, before it's happened or after? )
2. What else can be done to tackle sexual prevents?
1) Since June 16, Beijing police have redoubled their effort to prevent sexual assault on the city's subway trains. They have caught roughly 20 offenders.
2) Because most of the incidents occur during rush hour, the closed circuit television on the city's subways seldom captures the act on video. Prosecuting such crimes become even more difficult when the victims refuse to go on the record and identify the suspect after their arrest.
3) What the general public can do if they see sexual harassment around them? Stand up and support the victim. Damas protected the young girl story on subway. The case where the public sent a guy who filmed girls from underneath their skirts to the police station…
4) Should we have harsher punishment to sexual harassers?
According to Chinese law: Maximum 15 days detention.
Other countries: Japan: half a year in jail or 500,000 Japanese Yen
