Brazil’s Female Sports Journalists protest against Sexual Harassment

While women around the world are fighting for equality, Brazilian women are also taking a stand for what is right. #DeixaElaTrabalhar, or "Let her do her job", is what Brazilian sports journalists say when they protest against sexual harassment. There have been instances of live video harassment, with trial and error and unwanted kisses and even buses. Now women say, "Enough". Bruna Dealtry, a sports journalist, asked a man to kiss while she was broadcasting live after a football party. Sharing the experience later on her Facebook, she wrote: "Today, I felt in my skin the feeling of helplessness that many women feel in stadiums, subways and even on the street." Renata Medeiros, another sports journalist, broadcast live from a stadium when she was called a "whore" by a fan.
Bibiana Bolson, a reporter with ESPN, told Guardian that every one of them have experienced some form of sexual harassment on or off camera. She said:

Independent of our individual professions – whether we’re on TV, on the radio, producing or writing – we have all experienced some form of sexual harassment. It’s the same story in different clothing.

Of course, the campaign had its fair share of backlash. Men threatened women with violence and rape, they said. Yet women are inspired by all this. "I think the campaign is really important, which shows that it is not harmless or funny to disrespect, harass or try to demoralize," said another ESPN journalist, Débora Gares.
