Campus nightmare: female students on the rise of sexual harassment:

“I found photos of me in pyjamas in my bed on their WhatsApp group. ‘Hah! Look what we did to her last night!’ They did the same to one of my friends and she wasn’t wearing anything. She was sleeping and they went in at three in the morning and took a photo of her. They thought it was really funny, but she was devastated.”

“

“Every one of my friends has a street harassment story. Every woman I know acts differently at night, makes different choices to minimize the risks of physical or sexual assault. […]

“Not every man is threatening, not every man harasses women on the street. But I have to treat every man as a threat because I don’t know who is a danger. Enough.”

”

– Enough.

“Another game developer has left her home tonight because she fears for her life.

Brianna Wu, developer of sci-fi action puzzler Revolution 60, confirmed that she and her husband have left their home due to a credible threat on Twitter. An account spammed Wu with violent threats and made it clear that it was doing so because of her outspoken support of women in tech and gaming. The last tweet publicly published Wu’s home address.”
