A woman has taken a male colleague to court, alleging he secretly filmed her as she expressed breast milk at her workplace. The man allegedly set up a live link in a private room at the institution on June 13.
The woman wrote in a blog that she was angry that providing food for her baby was “sexualised in such a cowardly way.”
According to reports, the man has been charged and further investigations are being carried out.
Western Cape police have confirmed that a case of crimen injuria — the intentional harming of someone’s dignity — is being investigated against the 38-year old university employee.
Local media quoted the mother sharing her “disgust” at the act.
She had been in what she thought was a “safe, locked space” expressing milk, when she noticed that she was being filmed.
“I’m disgusted that we live in a world where mothers, no matter how they choose to feed their children, are victimised for being vulnerable.”
