Have you ever received unwanted attention?
- been followed with a person trying to talk to you when you obviously did not want to engage?

What would you have wanted a bystander to do to support you in those situations?

Here's an article that discusses this kind of harassment, and I wondered about #mastodon input :)

NATIONAL LIBRARY WEEK

Believing a 12-year-old is mature enough to give birth to her rapist's baby, but needs parental approval to check out a book, is peak Republican.

#House #Ethics Committee makes rare public information request about #SexualMisconduct on Capitol Hill

The rare move comes after recent scandals raised questions from lawmakers & others about how #Congress handles [ir rather doesn’t handle] investigations involving its own members.

I live in a state where the lawmakers are fighting against a bill that would require that someone at the emergency room (or police dept I guess if you go there first) be required to hand you a piece of paper telling you that you have a right to have evidence collected if you have been sexually assaulted. The NH government says “nah, that’s too much!! We’ll tell rapists their rights, but their victims? Nah.”

From the link:
“Did you know that, according to the NH Department of Justice themselves, approximately one thousand New Hampshire residents a year go to a hospital after an assault, and leave without any evidence collected — not because they weren’t eligible, not because they didn’t want it, but because no one told them they could have a kit administered, or in fact had a right to one?”
