In the session, Susie expounds more on the different levels of sexual harassment, responding to sexual harassment, the importance of communication between parents & their kids, and supporting in understanding when they’ve gone too far.

Moreover, she expounds on changing the perpetrator's habits through SEL, creating a safe space to have these conversations, as well as different stakeholders' roles in implementing CSE programs.

Quote

● “Sexual harassment takes so many forms. There is the form of just casual comments about your body. Oh, you’ve not been working out, or something quite simple like you have gained a few pounds during Christmas, what have you been eating, and all those types of things are about our bodies. They might not feel that sexual, but actually, they can become quite sexual and hurtful.”
