This episode is a question and answer (Q&A) type of discussion and will focus on the mental health effects and the process of GRCM as an intervention for the victims of online sexual harassment. This event aims to address UPOU’s target of mainstreaming gender and prevent sexual harassment in the virtual classrooms and landscape.
