ACTRESS ANNA BEN FACES HARASSMENT IN A MALL, RECOUNTS THE HORRIBLE INCIDENT - "...A TIGHT SLAP ON THE FACE OF SUCH MEN!"

In a recent post on her social media profile, the actress has recounted a horrific harassment she experienced in a mall she visited. It read thus: " “Two men walked past me in a generously spaced aisle in Lulu hypermarket which barely had people crowding and one of them not so accidentally grazed his hands on my back while walking past me. Because it caught me off guard I couldn’t react immediately. I wanted to give him the benefit of a doubt but you know when something is just not right, you feel it".

She explains how her sister saw this and walked up to her, to make sure she was okay. "I was clearly not. The fact that it looked deliberate even for her made it clear that I was not imagining this. I was blank for a minute trying to process this. I walked towards them but they completely ignored me. I made sure that he knew I understood. And they both left the aisle".

She wrote that the same men again came closer to the pair of them and had the audacity to talk to her and her sister. Trying to get closer as they spoke, they wanted to know the names of the movies that she has been part of, the men walked away after they saw Anna's mother.

“As I type this I can think of a thousand things I could have told them and a hundred things I could have done. But I didn’t. I just couldn’t. I just wanted to let this out here so I could feel a little relief. To feel that I have done something about it knowing fully that they walked away without guilt or trouble. Knowing that they might do it again, it angers me,” Anna Ben wrote.

“Being a woman has been very tiring, to be on guard every minute as you step out of your house. To watch my clothes when I bend and turn. To guard my chest with my arms in a crowd… And on the days I’m home, I worry about my mother, my sister, my friends who have to do the same things. It is all because of these sick men. You take away our safety. You take away our comfort and the joy of our womanhood. I despise you,” she added.

The message was concluded with the following words: "To the men reading this, if you have ever done anything remotely inappropriate to a woman, know that you are the most lowest form of life and you don't deserve anything but hell. I hope and pray you will never get away with these things like those two men today. And to all women reading this, I hope you have the courage that I didn't have today to give a tight slap on the face of such men".
