Nature of the issue

In the Philippines, sexual harassment remains a serious problem despite the advancement of women in different fields. Not only this but also the myths and stigma surrounding sexual harassment have always been prevalent in society, including but not limited to women’s clothing. It is an area of concern that has been existing for a considerable period, yet many individuals still have conflicting perspectives about its existence and, more significantly, its causes.
