    "content": "Sexual harassment and abuse are heinous crimes that cause immense harm to the victims, particularly women. These actions are forms of violence that violates the person’s autonomy and dignity. They can have long lasting physical and psychological consequences or impact. As it has been said here, it is ravaging many homes in our country. Sexual harassment is another form of gender-based violence. It involves unwanted sexual advances, comments, gestures or physical contact. It seems as if we have accepted this as normal behaviour. Denigration of women, including objectification, belittling and disrespect, also perpetuates harmful gender stereotypes and reinforces unequal power dynamics in our society between men and women. It is dangerous because it can lead to a culture that normalises violence against women and undermines their urgency and autonomy. This is what we see in some of the social media circles. It is degrading or debasing, and destroying our women. It is happening in every corner of our country. We must fight this cancer that is ravaging the social fabric of our nation. This Motion gives us an opportunity to reinforce what we need to do in this particular area."
