Chinmayi reveals about harassment incident

Chennai, Mar 13: Chinamyi Sripada is one of the renowned singers in Bollywood and the southern film industry.

She alleged that she has been groped by a person at an event on Sunday. She took to Twitter to sensitize the society on the issue of harassment.

Chinmayi wrote on her micro-blogging page, "After almost aeons I got groped at an event yesterday. I happened to share this story on Instagram and what shocked me is how many men and women have been molested as children (teachers, brothers, co-passengers, uncles, grandparents and even women)."

"Most girls and boys haven’t mustered the strength to share it with their family and friends coz no one would believe it. Even if girls have a chance of being heard, men have NONE."

Men are shamed if they share an account of sexual assault/molestation during childhood. Women who gathered the courage to share have been blamed “she enjoyed it”. Imagine grown adults accusing a child of enjoying sexual assault. And other seemingly sane adults believing it.
