2084

The three of them went directly to Ergao after eating, and Mash drove the car, which was a private car in Ling Yan's garage.

Ling Yan pursues pragmatism, and the cars are all low-key in appearance, spacious and comfortable inside, with adjustable dining tables, independent air conditioners, and on-board TVs.

Qi Siming sat casually in the back of the car, leaving the space in front for Ling Yan and Miss He to work.Rolling up his sleeves, he focused on peeling the Gorgon fruit without distraction, with a glass of red wine in his hand, with a relaxed demeanor, which was out of tune with everyone in the car.

They came early, and found a parking space with a good view all the way from the gate of the second high school. Seeing that the car was parked, Qi Siming looked up as if it had nothing to do with him.

He originally thought that since the person who mobilized this event was a literati reporter, it would probably be the work of words and pens. It would be amazing to see three or two kittens at the school gate, but he was shocked when he looked up. Said, "This reporter Su has good social mobilization skills."

Before nine o'clock, the school gate was already surrounded by protesting parents. At a glance, there were about [-] people, and there were more and more gatherings. Parents held signs such as "Open information, return students justice" , with their backs against the main road, they seem to be chatting with each other in a relaxed atmosphere, but they are obviously ready.

Today is a good day, the sun is shining, and there are no clouds in the sky. At this time, the mood of the parents is still stable, and there are no traffic problems such as road occupation and traffic jams.Qi Siming thought, I'm afraid it's only a matter of time.

At [-]:[-] a.m., the VR camera on the signage at the intersection turned on, showing that the panoramic video recording started, and two drones took off, eager to cross the Ergao gate.

The people seemed to be in chaos at that moment, the crowd gathered like a wave, and surrounded the school gate, separated by an electronic gate, a tall and thin woman with a head on her head and a loudspeaker could be seen in the crowd, Shout out to the school.The parents of the students were all excited and shouted, "Chen An is suspended!" "Arrest Chen An!" Violations” and other requirements.

Ling Yan opened the car window, heard that the wind was not right, and immediately asked, "That Chen An has a criminal record before?"

Ms. He also had a nervous expression on her face, she rummaged through a dozen documents under her hand, and quickly answered, "It's not a criminal record, there have been two similar cases, both of which reached an out-of-court settlement with the plaintiff, and the school did not give any punishment. "

Ling Yan became anxious almost instantly, "What about the school's sexual harassment reporting channel? Why is the information not made public? The circumstances of the case, the nature of the infringement, two years ago..."

"Sir!" Miss He interrupted him with gloomy eyes, "These are indeed mandatory requirements, but they will not announce them to the public."

Systematic failure and the formation of a culture of secrecy after sexual assault incidents have long been a long time ago.

Ling Yan fell silent for a while.

He sat there for a moment, expressionless, and the moment felt so long, so slow.A shudder ran through his body.

Qi Siming, who didn't know the reason, cast a glance at Ms. He from behind. Ms. He shook her head quietly, and quietly passed a news two years ago on Utopia.

That was the Anti-Harassment Sexual Assault Act introduced that year. When it was tried out in District VI that year, it received unanimous praise and response from the people in the district, including creating an internal reporting channel for sexual harassment and sexual assault incidents, providing professional psychological assistance to victims, and providing assistance to schools, hospitals, etc. Personnel’s work disciplinary action will be made public. Private reconciliation of employers and employees due to sexual assault or harassment will no longer be allowed. People with sexual assault records will be published on community websites to create community files. Utopia will permanently mark previous convictions. Children who have sexual assault records When the contact with the victim is less than five meters away, Utopia will beep to remind...even including the "extremely severe juvenile case, the right to know gives way to the right to privacy, and the media is not allowed to report it publicly" that Ren Di swore last night.

Qi Siming was curious as to why Ling Yan was so concerned about this matter. In fact, there was no other reason, but because he was the one who drafted and implemented the anti-molest bill.And today's troubles have come to this point, in fact, they have told Ling Yan clearly that his bill has failed.

In fact, even if Qi Siming looked at it today, he could see how much resistance this bill had.

The male-dominated district government would not be happy to see such detailed decrees implemented. If it is divided by faction, Ling Yan belongs to the central faction rather than the local faction, and it is difficult to act locally.

The news that Ms. He sent him was accompanied by the media interviews at the time. When asked about this bill, Ling Yan's answer was intercepted and redacted, and the media commented that he was the most conscientious member of Congress.

That's what Ling Yan said in that passage. He said that his vision is very simple. He implemented such a bill because he didn't want to see those sad people struggling to maintain their dignity in such a mess. The public's right to know gave way to the victim's right to privacy. I hope that for those who have experienced sexual assault and harassment, and those who are still struggling to stand up, the social and emotional costs of speaking out will be reduced, so that they do not have to hurt themselves in public, and do not have to be hoarse.

Ms. He knows better as a witness.At that time, Ling Yan was almost fighting alone, accompanying the plaintiff all the way from this district to the Supreme Court, and was able to take advantage of the wind of public opinion to make this bill come into being in this district with difficulty.It is not that there are no opponents, and even some decent politicians and judges are also not optimistic, thinking that the more detailed the provisions are, the more they will be eliminated by time.

Ling Yan was young and energetic at the time, and the Congress canvassed votes aggressively.The bill was successfully implemented, and it was advancing all the way, but the tone suddenly slowed down this year.The cold winter came without warning, people's hearts fell, and the long-awaited justice came to naught.

Idealistically thinking about sending water to the kitchens of thousands of households, the reality is a seriously leaky pipeline. The bill has been implemented for two years, and now the victims still have no way to seek solutions, have no way to defend their rights, and have nowhere to appeal. We can only rely on demonstrations and protests to fight for justice.

Ling Yan bit his knuckles, and the sense of loss and failure slowly soaked into his bones, like the chill of early spring.

Seeing Ling Yan's serious expression and no response for a long time, Ms. He was also a little scared.

Seeing that there are more and more people at the gate of Ergao, and the Northwest Road is already blocked, I secretly hate the traffic, why no one showed up for such a big matter.

Before she finished greeting the city hall in her heart, Utopia's call was overwhelming.

"The leader of the Utopia Management Committee in this district." Ms. He said.

Ling Yan's closed eyes snapped open, and the disgust flashed across his eyes.

Seeing that he didn't intend to answer, Miss He listened dutifully.This person is young and has no public office, but he is a long-sleeved dancer and has close contacts with several big figures in the municipal government. Ms. He speculates that this person is probably sitting in the municipal office now.

When he spoke like an old man, there was no seriousness inside or outside, just to ask if Ling Yan was in the area, and wanted to invite him to dinner, Miss He looked at Ling Yan's expression, and lied calmly and said The husband had already returned to the capital, and the two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone.

The call was on the outside, and Qi Siming thought it was too fucked after listening to it.

Afraid that Ling Yan would lose heart, he poured a glass of wine and said, "Don't be angry."

Ling Yan didn't look at him, but looked at the mess outside the window and said, "Why am I so angry?"

After finishing speaking, he continued, "I don't even know if they are crazy or I am crazy? They thought they could cover the sky with one hand? This matter has become such a big deal, and now they care about whether I get on the highway or not."
