Woman Tourist Shares Ordeal On Social Media

The woman in the video has been identified as Ines Faria, who posted the clip on her Instagram account on Thursday. In her caption, she wrote that this was the first such experience she had faced in India, despite spending the last two months in the country.

“Most of my experience has been beautiful, kind and welcoming. But this day was different,” she wrote, adding that the men kept following her and demanding photos even after she said no multiple times. She said the situation became overwhelming and that she had to physically push them away to create space. Stressing on consent and personal safety, she concluded, “Just a reminder that ‘no’ is a full sentence. And your safety and comfort always come first.”
