In Britain, 22-year-old Soma Sara has launched a campaign to share experiences related to molestation, sexual harassment or abuse during school days or teen-age. Exactly like the 'Me Too' campaign. Sara has started a website "Everyone Invited" for this. Anyone can share such an event by giving any information on it or even without giving name.
So far, more than 10 thousand people have shared experiences on this. The UK government has ordered a review and investigation of the schools immediately. On Sara's website, youth, women have told about sexual misconduct in schools with them. It also mentions the names of schools in which such incidents have taken place.
They have told that during school days, the boys or teachers studying together sexually abused them. One such post reads, 'I was 14 years old when I sat on the couch after completing school. Then I was molested. One wrote, "My boyfriend deliberately shared my personal photos with me and his friends."
Sara, who started the website, explains, 'I realized that this is a kind of misdemeanor culture. This problem exists everywhere. Many of the boys on the website have also confessed to sexual harassment or misconduct with them.
Police said - come forward and complain the victims

Schools also said - are investigating the allegations,
London's most popular school 'Highgate' has said, 'It is shocking and frightening'. The school has started a probe into the allegations by a retired judge. London's oldest and prestigious 'Dalwich' college has written a letter to the parents of the children saying that they will hand over such cases to the authorities concerned after investigation.
