An awareness programme organised at a school by the Mumbai police last week helped a teenager muster the strength to speak up against harassment. An officer's moving speech at the Women Cyber Safety Week event had left the 19-year-old woman teary eyed and after being encouraged by the police she filed a complaint against her harasser — a man of her age.

The man had threatened to morph her pictures and make them viral if she did not get intimate with him, the woman had told the JJ Marg police. A report in this paper stated how the police have conducted seminars at schools and colleges on how to beware of potential harassers on the web and how to deal with them.
