【Frauen ohne Unschuld】

Again and Frauen ohne Unschuldagain, women in the media just keep getting harassed while they're just trying to do their jobs.

Taking a stand against this was Julia Guimarães, a sports reporter for Brazil's TV Globo and sportv, who ripped into a man who tried to kiss her during a live cross in front of a stadium in Yekaterinburg prior to the Senegal vs. Japan match on Sunday.

"Don't do this. Never do this again," she told the man. "Don't do this. I don't allow you to do this, never, OK? This is not polite. This is not right. Never do this. Never do this to a woman, OK? Respect."

Guimarães later wrote on Twitter that it's "hard to find words" for the incident, and that it had happened to her twice already in Russia.

The other incident happened to her at the Egypt and Uruguay game, as revealed in a subsequent article for Globo.

"It's awful. I feel helpless, vulnerable. This time I gave an answer, but it's sad, people do not understand. I wanted to understand why you think you have a right to do that," she said, according a translation.

Earlier this year, Brazilian journalists started a hashtag called #DeixaElaTrabalhar, or "Let Them Work," coming together to stop harassment on the job and to demand respect.

"We are women and we are professionals," more than a dozen reporters said in a video.
