Sexual harassment is a broad term used to describe any unwelcoming or inappropriate sexual remarks and physical advances. It can impact the survivors in various ways, especially affecting their mental health. It worsens when survivors have no one to turn to, especially because how stigmatised it still is to talk about being a survivor of sexual harassment.
