Among the many risks that Journalists face, harassment and aggression are the most common among female news reporters. The one who break stories about men who have sexually harassed or otherwise abused women; continues to face challenges. In between the crowds, third time in a row during 2018 FIFA World Cup, a journalist while on duty was distracted by a creep who attempted to kiss her. But unlike the previous incidents, the brave girl Julia Guimaraes was seen in the live video to immediately react as she demanded the unidentified man to show respect and told him to “never do this again.”

Julia Guimaraes, a journalist with TV Globo and SporTV in Brazil was broadcasting outside the stadium in Yekaterinburg, Russia on June 24 before the Japan vs Senegal soccer game. While she was speaking to the camera, a man leaned to kiss her on the cheek. The sports reporter stopped and rebuked the man, who quickly backed away. This is the latest incident of woman journalist being harassed at the sporting event after a Swedish reporter was grabbed and kissed live last week ahead of Sweden vs Korea’s face off.

Here reaction was applauded by the people. The brave girl dodges his advances and berates him. “Don’t do this! Never do this again,” Guimarães yelled at the man as he moved back. “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 to a woman, OK? Respect.” In the video, the man can be heard off camera apologising to the woman.

Julia in a later interview with Globo Esporte revealed that this is the second time when she faced something physical like this. The Brazilian journalist was quoted saying, “The first time, it was before the game between Egypt and Uruguay, and I think it was a Russian. Now, it was certainly a Russian.” It seems that such assaults are reflecting a trend of harassing women at the World Cup 2018. A female Colombian journalist was covering FIFA from Russia for German TV news was groped and kissed while she was live.
