Male Sexual Harassment Cases On The Rise

 

More men are now coming forward to report that they're being sexually harassed.  

The Women, Family and Community Development Ministry says cases among male victims have recorded a significant rise.  

In fact, the ministry received more than one thousand complaints since 2024...with police statistics showing a similar upward trend.  

It says the boost was due to its advocacy programs, which had encouraged more victims to come forward and lodge reports...regardless of gender.

SWCorp has issued over 7,400 notices of offence across seven states for littering in public places.

As such, it's urging authorities to step up enforcement efforts against public littering.
