Blame the victim culture weakens #MeToo in Vietnam
While the global anti-sexual harassment movement has inspired Vietnamese women, they are still denied justice and safety.
To say that Loan was disappointed would be a gross understatement.
She was aghast.
After she had put herself through the agony of detailing the sexual harassment that she’d suffered at her colleague’s hands, the punishment that the man received was a paltry fine of VND200,000 ($8.59).
“I was really shocked,” said the 30-year-old accountant in Quang Tri Province, her voice carrying pain and bitterness.
“I traded my honor to reveal a crime and seek justice, and cannot imagine that this was the result.”
For Loan, the punishment meted out to her harasser was salt rubbed into her wounds.
