Anyone can be a victim of gender-based sexual harassment
Dear PAO,Since childhood, I have known that I have a different sexual orientation, which is noticeable in my clothing preferences, language and behavior. Roger, my neighbor, always hurls sexist slurs at me whenever I pass by the street near his house. I have complained about his ill-treatment, but my concerns have fallen on deaf ears. They reasoned that Roger could not be criminally liable for catcalling because the victim should be a female.
Catcalling is considered gender-based sexual harassment, which warrants the imposition of appropriate penalties, whoever the victim is. After all, every person deserves respect no matter what his or her sexual identity or orientation is, as everyone is born equal.Nobody should be discriminated against simply because of sexual identity or orientation. The pronouncement of the Supreme Court in AM 21-06-20-SC, dated April 11, 2023, is very enlightening:'Too, Section 2 of Republic Act No.
