LWP Alert: Sexual harassment-Criminal advances



Crouched on the edge of her bed, she scrolled the touch screen of her mobile phone as her hands trembled. She read and re-read the text messages arriving seemingly every second from an unknown number. She knew who this was and wished she didn't. She broke out into a cold sweat; yes she was scared.

This was sexual harassment that she had heard happens to others and now it was happening to her.

This routine, called monotony, can drain the excitement out of life. It's like living on autopilot, where days blur into one another, and we forget what it means to truly feel alive.
