Story
It happens. Almost to every woman. Sexism is a daily companion for most women around the globe - not (only) including sexual harassment but especially the small moments, that might not occur to everyone straight away; a casual comment, a common pick-up line, a gaze, a soft touch, a small disadvantage. Despite their inconspicuousness, these moments can entail negative consequences for the woman who experiences them. The awareness of this issue is more and more a topic in our society - and deservedly so.
