Sexual harassment happens every day in schools, universities, on the street, near or far from home, on public transport, and at work, and can be extremely disruptive to women's daily lives, as well as undermining and threatening equality between women and men.

Published by Avenida da Liberdade Editores (June 2024), the authors present a fundamental book for understanding and reflecting on this phenomenon.

In clear and objective language, they enlighten readers about the origins of the #MeToo movement, its evolution in Portugal, but also about what Portuguese law says and what should be changed. They recount high-profile and anonymous cases, demonstrating that the exposure of both is extremely important. They dispel myths about sexual harassment and answer the most frequently asked questions that women who are victims of harassment and society in general often ask themselves:

What are the main behaviours that can be considered sexual harassment?

How long do I have to report it?

Who should I report it to?

What should I do if I witness harassment?

Talking about sexual harassment, recognising its extent and identifying common experiences are necessary in order to combat it because it's not enough to punish the aggressors, it's essential to educate and prevent harassment so that it no longer exists, because no woman deserves to live in fear.
