SINGAPORE, March 5 (The New Straits Times/ANN): It takes courage to file a report against sexual harassment online, and many women stop short of doing so, but it is vital to take that step to prevent others from becoming victims, said Georgette Tan, president of non-profit United Women Singapore.

Speaking on Saturday (March 5) at a People's Action Party (PAP) Women's Wing panel discussion on online harms, she added: "(It's) a huge, brave effort making that report and this is where a lot of people, unfortunately (many) women, don't take that step."
