Exhibition: The Power of Society to Stop Sexual Harassment

(Social power exhibition against sexual assault)

Do not dictate my attire.

The exhibition displayed clothing worn by victims of sexual assault. (Reading the text and viewing the victims' clothing was quite disturbing.) This is a social problem that needs to be addressed by members of society themselves.

A small but impactful exhibition.

The film's brevity is not due to a lack of content, but rather a deliberate choice to avoid excessive exposition. The absence of lengthy dialogue compels viewers to engage with the film on a deeper level, prompting them to question the societal norms depicted.

Repeatedly encountering sexual harassment.

I have recently noticed that this trend has been gaining traction overseas, and I was surprised to learn that it has also reached Thailand.

The "Power of Society to Stop Sexual Harassment" exhibition urges viewers to reconsider their perspectives. It challenges the societal misconception that "asking for it" through attire justifies sexual assault. This harmful stereotype needs to be eradicated from Thai society. A visit to the exhibition is highly recommended.

The exhibition presented a concise and impactful message, despite its limited content. However, it sparked a critical discussion within society, raising the question of whether clothing and attire truly contribute to sexual assault. The exhibition's message challenged the notion that a lack of clothing or specific attire is the primary cause of sexual assault, instead highlighting the importance of awareness and mutual respect.

The claim that men are naturally driven by visual stimuli and cannot control their sexual urges is often used to justify inappropriate behavior. However, this argument ignores the crucial role of self-control and moral responsibility in shaping human actions. Clothing choices may not directly influence sexual desire, but they can serve as a reminder of social norms and personal boundaries. Ultimately, it is the individual's capacity for self-restraint and respect for others that determines their actions, not their attire.

She is not just a man, a woman, or a transgender person, but a human being who wants to live a normal life in society. How she likes to dress is a personal preference, and no one should be judged for being raped because of their revealing clothing. Just like how people dress, it is a personal preference.

The clothing displayed in the exhibition belonged to victims who were sexually assaulted (raped) on the day of the incident. The incident occurred in Thailand and permission to display the clothing was granted by the Women and Men Progressive Foundation, UN Women, and Ms. Cindy Sirinya, who jointly organized this exhibition.

We inquired with the staff about the displayed clothing. They informed us that the victim had contacted the foundation for assistance. The victim sought help for issues such as sexual harassment and family problems. The staff then contacted the victim to request permission to display the clothing. This is just a small sample of the individuals who have reached out for assistance.

This exhibition will feature videos showcasing the positive perspectives of various celebrities and artists on this topic. These include Opal Panisara, Kant Kantathavorn, Ploy Treechada, Lukkade Metinee, Mai Davika, and Aukkana Chutimon, among others.

Let's examine the clothing of each victim to understand the underlying social issues or crimes involved.

Let's take a look at the first set.

This is the outfit I wore that day.

This is the outfit I wore that day: a long-sleeved shirt and long jeans. I wore it to a job interview. I was trying to find a job to help with family expenses. I was sexually assaulted without my consent.

The black t-shirt and shorts I wore that day were the same ones I had on when I went to play Songkran with five or six female friends. A group of teenage boys approached us, smearing us with white powder and taking the opportunity to grope us, touching our cheeks and breasts.

This is the outfit I wore that day.
A t-shirt, cartoon-patterned shorts. I was 4 years old. I was raped by my uncle, but I didn't dare tell anyone because I was scared.

This is the outfit I wore that day: a long, black, sleeveless jumpsuit. I wore it to meet the perpetrator, a famous person I admired. I never imagined I would be lured into a situation where I would be sexually assaulted.
