TW: MENTIONS OF S*XUAL HARRASMENT AND SU*CIDE
THOUSANDS OF WOMEN IN SOUTH KOREA ARE BEING UNKNOWINGLY SEXUALLY HARASSED
"I feel like he's still watching me," Eun-ju Lee told her dad.
- Eun-ju Lee is one of the many women in South Korea who have been a victim of the spy cam epidemic still happening even until now.
- Miniature cameras are being hidden everywhere in Korea including hotels and public women's bathrooms. Films of them removing their clothes and changing spread around the internet, but once the women demand justice and lack of justice, the sentences are watered down ten fold.
“They don’t take it seriously.”
- This was the statement of tens and thousands of women protesting for the justice of the victims of sex crimes.
A VICTIM’S POV :
“Lee Ye-rin’s employer made romantic overtures toward her; he was married, and she was not interested. One day he bought her a clock as a gift. She put the clock in her bedroom but later moved it to a different spot in the room. Her boss—after she moved the clock—commented that if she did not want it, he would take it back. “I found it strange, so I googled the clock and found it was a special kind,” Lee Ye-rin said. The clock was a spycam. It had been streaming footage of the inside of Lee Ye-rin’s bedroom to her boss’s cell phone 24 hours a day for the previous month or month and a half. When she confronted him, he asked: “Is that the thing you stayed up all night to google?” He had been watching as she searched.”
EXCERPT FROM A BBC NEWS ARTICLE :
“The court agreed that the filming was done without her consent, but because she remained in the relationship they found him not guilty of illicit filming.”
WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?
