Educating Students & Teachers About Sexual Harassment In Schools


Educating Students & Teachers About Sexual Harassment In Schools
The Issue
Students across the country, and in our school suffers from sexual harassment every single day. They get called demeaning names, unwanted physical gestures, and suggestive remarks that they do not necessarily want. Because things like this happens everyday, victims don't feel safe going to school. Not going to school interfers with their education, potentially hurting their school record. It all goes downhill from there. Their minds would no longer be focused on school, when instead they'll be thinkng about how to avoid their harasser. Suddenly, what claims to be a safe place, isn't so safe for them anymore.
We're here to change that. Our first step is to make a difference in our school. Then hopefully, it'll spread to all other schools.
We demand that our school holds a workshop for teachers to teach their students all about sexual harassment, and discourage them from doing it to others. We want teachers and staff to actaully start enforcing the sexual harassment policies. Students need to learn why they need to stop, and why they shouldn't start.
Please sign this petition so that our principal sees how serious this issue is, and why we need to change it.
