At first there was misunderstanding
When I initially encountered harassment at work, I was overwhelmed and had mixed feelings. I did not understand how such things could happen in my workplace, where I expected respect and professionalism. However, I realized that silence and ignoring the problem will not change anything, so I decided to do something about it. The first step to overcoming harassment was to seek support and advice from trusted colleagues, friends, and family. It helped me to realize that I am not alone and that there are people who are ready to support and help me in the fight against this problem. It was important to find people with whom I could share my feelings and get rational advice about the next steps.
