A personal note on harassment
For several years, I have experienced harassment and false allegations originating with one person who also harassed several other women. I became a particular target after warning others about his behaviour. The police and prosecutor’s office intervened, and he was officially warned.
If you receive allegations about me, please contact me privately rather than pass them on. Preserving the original message can help document continued harassment.
Around one in four women in Brussels has experienced stalking during her lifetime, according to the 2024 IWEPS/IBSA/Statistiek Vlaanderen report. I share my article to help people recognise how harassment spreads through well-meaning bystanders—and how to avoid being recruited into someone else’s malicious campaign.
