The speaker gave an explanation of how the Safe Spaces Act defines
online sexual harassment. Catcalling, wolf-whistling, unwelcome
invitations, using slurs, or practically any advance, whether verbal or
physical, that is unwanted and undermines a person's feeling of
personal space are some of the acts covered by this legislation, which
recognizes that anybody is vulnerable to sexual harassment. And,
believe it or not, any of these activities can take place in any location.
Schools, churches, malls, pubs, and public transportation vehicles are
just a few examples of settings where such crimes can occur.
So, some of the prohibited online acts include: saying or commenting
unwanted comments, slurs; cyberstalking and incessant messaging;
unauthorized recording and sharing of any form of media with the
victim without their knowledge consent; stealing others' identities or
slandering others.The Safe Spaces Act was created to deal with most of
the offenses that occur in public and gives the same importance to
first-degree offenses as the other degrees of offenses.
The Safe Spaces Act prohibits gender-based sexual harassment in
public places, on the internet, in the workplace, and in educational and
training institutions. The law makes all forms of sexual harassment
illegal on the streets, in public places, and online.Philippines July 19

To address existing disparities and issues on equality, security, and
safety of both women and men in private and public settings, the
Congress passed Republic Act No. 11313, often known as the "Safe
Spaces Act" or the "Bawal Bastos Act." The Anti-Sexual Harassment
Act of 1995, or Republic Act No. 7877, is planned to be expanded by the
Safe Spaces Act.
