Bullying, stalking, sexual harrassment

Bullying, stalking, discrimination and sexual harassment are not always obvious. They are not always easy to detect and you might ask yourself if you are a victim of it or if it was just a “misunderstanding”. Often, when people reach a point where they question whether what they experienced was appropriate, this indicates that it wasn't. Visit the links below, check the definition of harassment (e.g. on the UN website) and talk to other people about what happened. Talking may help you to solve what could be a very damaging situation with a longlasting negative impact on your mental well-being.

If you witnessed a situation where someone else was treated in an inappropriate way, talk to the affected person! looking away is the worst you can do because it may increase the person's feeling of shame (which victims of violence often have).
