“The guild of women journalists of El Salvador expressed this Friday [March 19] its rejection of a statement supposedly given by a female judge in a criminal proceeding prompted by a colleague and that, in its opinion, normalizes sexual harassment.
[...]
The controversy came after the initial hearing in the criminal process Jaime Perla faced on March 17 for allegedly sexually harassing reporter Wendy Hernández, of the government's Channel 10 during a live broadcast.
Hernández told her colleagues that the judge told her that 'she should be used to that type of comment' because of her position as a journalist. 'It was a very unfortunate situation,' said the television reporter, who pointed out that 'harassment on social networks has increased' against her."
