Why is advocating against harassment so important to adolescent girls?
Harassment is a major problem that adolescent girls face on a daily basis. This form of exploitation can have a lasting impact on their physical, emotional, and mental health. Unfortunately, many girls do not report instances of harassment due to feelings of shame, embarrassment, or fear of retribution.
Yesterday, an activity was conducted at IHAO’s Al Qawsyiat Center, supported by Iraqi Children Foundation. The activity included story reading related to comfortable and uncomfortable touches, which girls need to be aware of, to be able to recognize, avoid and protect themselves against harassment in the future.
