I can’t tell you the number of instances of sexual harassment I have heard about over the years. And it’s always accompanied by so many emotions from the person who has experienced it: shame, embarrassment, fear.
The worry that they somehow caused it.
The fear of what people will think if they tell their stories.
The anxiety of what will happen to them and their job.

All of them.
