N a t i o n e n YOUR voice is the most important voice ”Ingen har nog undgått den senaste anstormningen av inlägg med hashtaggen metoo på sociala medier. Att så många personer, inklusive flera som sitter härinne, har vågat träda fram och dela med sig. För att kunna öppna tidigare stängda ögon och således tillsammans kunna bidra till ett samhälle utan tafs och sexuella trakasserier. Det här i sin tur, bidrar till vårat självklara mål här på nationen, ett Stockholms nation utan trakasserier.” AV: ALICE ADLER What a term it’s been, and it’s not even over. I am not sure if I should laugh or cry! Growing up, my mother has always told me stories about things that happened when she was my age. I remember thinking when I was younger that everything just seemed so much more dramatic back then in “the olden days”, a phrase that I am sure my mother would just love. I especially remember (for some odd and unexplainable reason) her telling me about the Clinton-Lewinsky story and it felt as though she was describing a movie. The past month it dawned on me that one day (hopefully) I will be telling my children about the game-changing events that are happening today, and how they will seem just as dramatic as those my mum used to tell me. For example, in October <strong>2017</strong> one of the largest social media trends started as a result of one of Hollywood’s most powerful men being exposed as a sexual predator who has used his position to take advantage of countless women. If that’s not drama, then I don’t know what is. Unless you have been living underground, with no Wi-Fi, no telephone and no TV, then you will have witnessed and possibly been a part of the #metoo campaign. I think I can speak for most when I say that the discussion the campaign has brought about has been an extremely moving, poignant and eye opening experience. The bravery that it has taken for many people to publish their experiences on social media is overwhelming, and I believe this bravery will be pivotal in protecting our own daughters and sons in their schools, their work environments and on the streets. It’s O.K to speak up to unwanted glances, touches, words, slurs and innuendos and just say NO! I am exhausted and downright fed up of being told what’s right and wrong. Whether it be by internet trolls, colleagues, acquaintances or friends. I am tired of being “enlightened” in what the intention was behind a sexist slur when in the end all it was, was a cheap, sexist slur – Johanna Schwang, 2Q electa, Talet till Gåsen <strong>2017</strong> by some stranger in the street or at a club. I am tired of constantly being told about what sexual harassment ‘actually is’, or seeing girls get laughed at and belittled in public spaces because they dare to turn around and speak up to the person grabbing them unwantedly. Enough is enough and finally the world is speaking up. #Metoo has created a platform on which women now feel safer to speak out, and I believe we all in fact have a duty to make sure that the message this campaign has spread, does not die out. Rather, we need to expand on it; discuss, teach, learn and listen to each other. Among the student nations in Uppsala, which is where us students are lucky enough to spend our nights out, harassment and violence in general is rather uncommon. However, in the light of the #metoo campaign, I thought it reasonable to ask a few questions regarding sexual harassment. Many of us can witness sexual harassment in many different forms, without even realizing what we are seeing. To which I say; If you think that it might be considered sexual harassment, then it probably is. I myself do not know what the protocol is were I to see something I believed was harassment in a nation. I turned to the First Curator of Stockholm’s Nation to get some answers! If one were to see or experience a form of inappropriate behaviour at Stocken, for example; using derogatory and vulgar language, grabbing someone without their permission, or just in general someone being too pushy with another person who clearly is not inviting that sort of behaviour, what would you advise one to do? Det vanligaste är att sådant sker under nattklubben, och man ska då ta kontakt med vakter eller utskänkare, alternativt annan personal som jobbar. Om detta inte görs under den specifika kvällen, eller det inte sker under klubben, bör man kontakta Kuratelet eller något av nationens Trygghetsombud (för närvarande 08
N a t i o n e n Malcolm Sterky och Alicia Juhlin). Det går även att kontakta någon i Styrelsen. Does the nation have a protocol that they must follow if any kind of harassment is reported? Vi har en handlingsplan som tydligt, steg för steg, förklarar hur vi ska agera vid händelse av sexuella trakasserier. Som sista steg i planen skrivs en incidentrapport som lämnas till kurator. I remember last year seeing some posters up around the nation encouraging people to speak up if they were to be ‘grabbed’ or harassed in anyway, which I thought was great! It really created a safe platform for people to come forward and report such happenings. Do you think that recent events in the media will encourage the nation to raise more awareness of this kind? Planscherna som satt uppe väckte olika typer av känslor. Många ansåg att de var bra, medan vissa tyckte att det spred en stämning av att nationen är en otrygg miljö där man bör hålla ögonen öppna. Antalet planscher som sitter uppe är nu därför färre. Jag tror absolut att det mediala utrymmet som dessa frågor fått gör att fler är intresserade av att engagera sig i frågan. Det har jag redan märkt av i min omgivning och bland vänner. Från nationens sida arbetar vi vidare efter de ramar som arbetats fram de senaste åren. Det innefattar att ta fram arbetsordningar och handlingsplaner, anordna föreläsningar, och skicka ut enkäter en gång per termin som diskuteras på ämbetsmannadagen. Exakt hur arbetet ska bedrivas, och vad som ska göras av Kuratelet respektive Trygghetsombuden håller för närvarande på att diskuteras i nationens styrelse. We must keep shedding light on sexual harassment and abuse. If you personally have not been a victim, it is still your battle; it is for all of us. Discuss and argue, read and research and above all; you have a voice, use it! I hope one day when I am re-telling stories of my university days to my children I can speak of the #metoo campaign, of how I got to witness a great strength and bravery igniting around me, and that I too can make it sound like a movie, but a movie that has a really wonderful ending.
