#YoungWomenSay, Anxiety, Footage: Elevating Voices, Sexual Harassment, Surviving Sexual Assault

I want other people to understand…that service workers are not slaves and not escort creatures. You can’t just harass them or make sexual propositions.

I believe that the more people will learn about such stories, the sooner they will understand that they are not alone.
