NSTopinion The Movement Control Order (MCO), which is aimed to reduce and restrict the spread of Covid19, has also highlighted several issues.
A case of sexual harassment has been brought to our attention, involving the use of vulgar slang by an enforcement officer at a checkpoint.
However, there are limits in how people should react under duress, especially when they are in the position of power. The abuse of power in the sexual harassment case above has left the survivor extremely traumatised.

Sexual harassment refers to an unwanted or unwelcome conduct that is sexual in nature, and may be committed physically, verbally, non-verbally, psychologically and/or visually, which can or may cause the person being harassed to feel humiliated, offended or threatened.
