Why Don't Women Report Sexual Harassment?

There is such a stigma if people come to know she has been through something like this.
Neeru, Teacher
Eventually, people will judge the girl and say, ‘usne hi bhaav diya hoga’, and blame her.
Ayushi, Chartered Accountant
It is because women feel that they are reporting a taboo. They will only report it after it becomes a very big problem, and men take advantage of that.
Vijay, CSR Professional
Women have so many avenues to report sexual harassment, so it is beyond me why they won’t.
Navneet, Banker
