AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Every week day, Melita is sexually threatened by a group of adult males on her way to school. Nobody will help and her father tells her the men do it because she’s pretty. The technology to counteract the cat-calling is available, but too expensive for a poor family. Eventually she is protected and dignified by the support of her school community, both boys and girls. This story interrogates common misconceptions about sexual harassment.
