A disturbing, extensive report in the weekend edition of this paper, threw light on sexual harassment cases on campuses. The story cited cases where students have complained against their professors. Ex-students have spoken out about complaining after they have passed out, saying either that there was no avenue to complain then, they could not process what was happening at the time, they were conflicted and perhaps most importantly, that the person who harassed them was seen to be more powerful than them at the time.

There is common ground in most harassment cases, the reasons for not reporting the molestation being primary. Even outside campus, survivors have hesitated to complain because of the above reasons. Take the age of the students at the time and you will know this is a vulnerable target group.
