In this lesson, you have learned how to detect, prevent, and respond to sexual harassment.
Most importantly, you have learned that sexual harassment is a crime punishable by Rwandan law and that you have the right to say “no.”
Sexual harassment can only thrive in secrecy, and it is up to each of us to bring it to light and for the appropriate authorities to hold perpetrators accountable.
Don’t forget that the trusted adults in your life (family members, teachers, supervisors, mentors) have the responsibility to help keep you safe. And when needed, there are formal authorities who can support you in getting help.
You are not alone, and you do not need to tolerate sexual harassment. Let’s work together to create a future free from violence and harassment.
