Again, I want to emphasize that there's already a culture of silence, because engaging in these types of activities is seen as dirty and as not something that someone who is in their right mind should be doing in politics. The idea is that you shouldn't touch that. For a lot of the community members, when they do see the very severe cases of intimidation and harassment, they look at themselves and say, “I'm not brave enough to undertake this. I'm not going to engage in it.” They practise self-censorship before they get to the point of becoming a dissident.
