“We join our voices for those who have not been able to speak. A solidarity effort of several communicators that we see with concern as so many people have been and continue to be silent victims of sexual harassment and abuse. We invite you to be part of this movement, and so we will have another voice that joins this cause of #cerotoleranciaalacoso ” #zero tolerance of harassment), accompany the videos uploaded to their Instagram accounts.
