I recently heard some stories from friends that made me realize that the #metoo movement should not just be used to share our stories, but also to reach out and to share information.

So here I am, not just sharing my story, but also giving you all the information I know pertaining sexual assault and harassment, more specifically, what you should do when you get assaulted in Seoul. I unfortunately don’t have more information on other areas in Seoul, not do I feel like I have all the information.

But together we are strong, together we can gather all the needed information and share it to those in need. So please share this video, and share the information you have with it!

If you want to skip my “fortunately” minor stories and go to the information skip the video to 3 minutes. or check out www.wietskelenderink.com as I try to keep my latest blog post updated with all the new information I am hoping to receive.

p.s. in case anyone wants to talk in private, feel free to send me anon messages. Anyone that is nasty will get blocked ASAP!

Very important information, thank you for sharing your stories. Anyone who lives in Korea please check this video and the blog post so you are aware of the support available and can spread that awareness among others.

Your blog is really helpful^^ are you a student in Korea?

Hi, I’m so glad you find it helpful! I was a student for 3 months last year, I was there for 8 months on a working holiday this year, and I’m about to go back to work as an English teacher soon. I am planning to study a master’s there next year or the year after, so I might be a student there again. 🙂
