Speaking up: More victims recount sexual harassment in schools on social media

PETALING JAYA: With the hashtag #MakeSchoolASaferPlace trending on Twitter, a teenage girl’s viral tweet about her teacher making rape jokes in school has now inspired others to also raise awareness about sexual harassment.

For instance, the Instagram account @savetheschoolsmy has been created in solidarity with the student, whose teacher had trivialised rape and whose schoolmate issued a rape threat against her.
