April is World Sexual Harassment Awareness Month and 2020 is an especially disheartening year as, even though we’ve made progress in several nations by taking reports more seriously and starting to speak more openly about specific subjects like victim-blaming and what consent really is, WHO statistics show that COVID-19 has triggered a “shadow pandemic” or increased reports of violence against women and girls, and that 1 in 3 women (around 700 million) are subject to physical or sexual violence of some sort in their lifetimes, meaning that number of cases remain largely unchanged in the last decade.

The contrast of the richness of the city (the most expensive city to live in as of 2018) and the treatment of the migrant workers that contributed to its prosperity is astounding.
