According to a 2016 University of Costa Rica report cited by the campaign team at the time, six out of every 10 women in the country say they have been the victims of sexual harassment in public. Last August, the Costa Rican government launched an ad campaign to address this specific form of sexual harassment that happens in public environments like buses.

I ask that if any one comes to recognize the person that they help me so that I can present a complaint.” “It seems incredible to me that you have to become accustomed to this type of harassment and that it’s now something so common that no one does anything about it.

“I couldn’t sleep calmly on a six-hour bus ride,” the post continued. The bus company takes riders between multiple points in the Guanacaste province and Costa Rica’s capital, San José. Multiple attempts by The Tico Times to speak with representatives from Empresa Alfaro bus company went unanswered Tuesday morning. “I decided to record a video and show it to those in charge of the bus, but the only thing they told me I could do was change my seat.” “Normally I’m not used to making these types of posts but I feel really upset, because this morning I was coming from Guanacaste to San José on an Empresa Alfaro bus and the passenger behind me tried to touch me on multiple occasions,” the woman identified as Fabiola says in the post. In a Facebook post she explained how the man touched her multiple times before she even decided to record what was happening.

The woman, identified only by her Facebook name of Fabiola CH, was traveling from Guanacaste to San José when she recorded the man in the seat behind her reaching down her shirt for more than a minute.Īfter she apparently pretended to be asleep in order to catch him in the act, she was able to use her cell phone to document the disturbing confrontation that she then posted to social media. A six-hour bus ride in Costa Rica quickly turned into a nightmare for a young woman Monday.
