On Saturday, February 29, 2020, the Never Okay Project invited support groups for survivors of sexual harassment in the workplace to learn together how to become a facilitator or as a support group that plays the role of listening to the stories and experiences of survivors of sexual harassment.

The event was led by Zarra Dwi Monica, a Clinical Psychologist who has worked for klikdokter.com and is also an HRD at a company. In the first session, the speaker shared their knowledge related to "Assistance for Survivors of Sexual Harassment" from basic information about the differences between sexual violence and sexual harassment, the impacts that survivors will face, and how to become a Survivor Assistant.

In the second session, the speaker invited participants to conduct a simulation on how to assist survivors through a Support Group, facilitated by a facilitator and an observer. Participants enthusiastically performed simulations by sharing stories of various issues they had experienced or problems they had seen when co-workers experienced sexual harassment. Participants actively interacted and shared experiences while one participant who tried to be a facilitator learned how to guide support group participants in sharing their stories. The speaker also assisted during the simulation process by providing advice and guiding the facilitator in facilitating the support group activities in sharing stories.

Thank you to Campaign.com and Dreamhub for supporting our activities! Also, thanks to the volunteers and participants who attended to enliven this #SupportSurvivors event! May the knowledge shared by the speaker be useful and beneficial.
