da-da-da-da-da-da very peculiar yeah lucky Sagada do you have the best waiter in our culture there is no place for a woman recently a foreign female youtuber uploaded a video detailing the sexual harassment she faced while she was here holiday in India so in this video you're gonna hear her story straight from her I'm gonna take you inside the minds of these guys who have these really backwards mentalities and then I'm gonna give you some tips so you can stay safe while you're travelling here in
India let's get into it let's hear the story straight from Jordan about two months ago I got to India we were wrapping up our trip and that's when all these things just started happening men reached out and grabbed me we're touching me groping me this one guy walking by kind of leaned like his face was right here and he just said to me I want to you right into my face with Livia right next to me I had a five-star hotel give out my personal information my full name my room number to a stalker I
really want to say these things are uncommon but unfortunately of all the experience I've had here meeting female tourists and just meeting females and new females in general they all have a story like this you know some of them aren't as bad as this some of them are worse I've witnessed this firsthand as well so I was on the Delhi Metro and a guy just grabbed my friend's ass and then another time we were walking down a road in South Delhi bye-bye lodi garden and this guy just walks past and rub
s his elbow across my friend's chest i met a girl from thailand who had just been to Amritsar and this guy started stalking her along the streets they wouldn't stop following it so she decided to run into a bathroom and she thought she would be safe there in a female bathroom but this guy comes in and starts banging on a cubical door and asking for money he was trying to scare her to pay him so she had that she was like so scared sitting in this bar from cubicle right so she just slid a bunch of
money under the door and luckily he left so yeah they're these stories do not end unfortunately and that goes for local woman too this is not a foreign woman problem this is a woman problem in general here in India and it's not all men don't think all men I like that there's certainly not it's a it's a small percentage of men who had these back with mentalities which we'll get into soon let me and I checked into a just normal hotel it was about ten dollars night so it's not like a nice hotel or
anything this is the first alarm bell for me she's staying in a 500 rupee hotel which is as cheap as you can get in Delhi and she's staying in piccata guns and how the guns is hell on earth I can't describe it any better than that I hate the place you walk down the road you'll see drug addicts shooting up needles into their arms it's 200 meters from the human trafficking and prostitution area of Delhi GB Road which you do not want to go down and under any circumstances especially at night so sh
e's so close to all these things drugs prostitution and human trafficking and yeah unfortunately a lot of foreigners choose to stay in the harder guns because there's a lot of cheap hotels there but it's the worst place you can stay in Ola Delhi please people go stay in the residential areas where normal Indians are go stay in South Delhi go stay and pay a bit more for a hotel because when you pay 500 rupees or ten dollars American for a hotel the quality you're going to get is terrible but what
's more important the staff you're gonna get are terrible so the staff in these cheap hotels tend to be uneducated boys from outside of Delhi from from small areas they have no education and they have and they come with these backwards mentalities unfortunately do not stay in 500 rupee hotels if you're a girl okay anyway at this point she was with her boyfriend and now just wait to see what happens when her boyfriend leaves the hotel and they knew that I was now in this hotel alone from that ver
y morning they started acting completely different to me at one point they even one of them even followed me up the stairs they called the room and they just said into the phone hey baby and I hung up and they called the room again and just silent not saying anything and it was just kind of creepy the next day they called my room and I pick up the phone and they were making sexual noises breathing okay so let me give you some insight into the minds of these guys these guys are from a patriarchal
system where they see woman as an object and I'm not talking about all Indian men okay I'm talking about a small percentage of Indian men these backwoods types of guys and so to scare a girl on the phone like that to grope a girl to pass rude comments to a girl this makes these guys feel really powerful it makes it feel like a real men array which is total rubbish but for them this is a form of entertainment they get off on this they enjoy this and pavatt also is that here in India couples that
aren't married aren't respected as much so these guys have seen her with her boyfriend and they're thinking oh she's going around doing immoral things with this guy then why won't you do immoral things with me that's their thinking they they think she's a bad girl and she's doing bad and immoral things it's totally crazy right in this next clip you're gonna see right inside the minds of these guys one of the guys is a rapist and the other two are his lawyers and their rapist is responsible for
the Jyoti Singh rapes in 2012 which shook India [Music] talak America's analyst D'Amato silverstein it will be here Albus additionally QT return over the ninth year [Music] da-da-da-da-da-da-da very peculiar yeah lucky segata per hour Lila Kirika you're cute 11 agua con carne adovada hey is ona up with the school area borrow Mukunda yeah cos these bees for San Diego simile in our society we never allow our gold to come out from the house after 6:30 or 7:30 or 8:30 in the evening with any unknown
person - means I immediately put the sets in AJ's do you have the best pitcher in our culture there is no place for a woman she should not go in night hours to snuggle at anything mother cow judge you are a cow this is my strength I'm still today stand on that replied there's nothing more I can add that those guys explain themselves perfectly and this is what India is dealing with these kinds of mentalities I was in my room and one of the guys knocked on the door and said hello open your door a
nd I thought no I'm not opening my door he came back about an hour later and he banged something really hard against the door I don't know what but it means such a loud sound startled me and he said ma'am man open your door right now trust your gut and that's exactly what Jordan did she didn't let them and when they're telling all these lies to try and get in her room this is like a horror movie and to be honest it's really hard to understand the feelings that she will be going for at this point
locked in this hotel room and dally with these guys trying to get in until you're in that situation you don't know you know it's easy for us to criticize her or to say other things why don't you do that why don't you do this but until you're in a situation if you don't have experience and what to do you don't know what to do I knew that he had just turned off my a/c immediately he knocks at my door and says hello the AC is broken we need to come in and fix the AC open the door and I will come i
n and fix your AC and I just said no I'm not answering the door then they shut off the life I and said the same story they need to come in and fix the Wi-Fi I kept telling me open the door let us in I just felt so certain that if I do to open the door then because they were so desperately trying with the lies to get into my room and to get me to open the door I did feel very certain that if I did then something very bad would happen I say this in my India Survival Guide which helps people travel
safely and confidently in India you have to be assertive and aggressive here in India in India strength respects strength only every day here it's a fight to do whatever you need to do you know so these guys only respects drink if you look weak if you give off weak signals people will prey on you these guys will prey on you they'll think you're weak so in this case Jordan should have kicked up a fuss as soon as she got that phone call she should have said of blasting them on the phone you know
what are you doing don't do this I'm leaving and she should have left she should have got out of this straight away from that first weird phone call you know but it's easy for us to say this after the fact you know in hindsight yeah but Jordans probably never experienced this type of harassment before so yeah you can't criticize here you can't judge her she has no experience in dealing with these types of situations and that's one thing that I hope to change I want to empower for us to be able t
o deal with this kind of stuff and just enjoy India because India is an amazing and country and I think it's the greatest country in the world especially for traveling you just think to be a little bit prepared okay obviously I'm a guy but I've also come across this type of harassment as a man it was really on the on the lower side of things it's more gay guys hitting on me and being too touchy I had this one guy tried to kiss me on the cheek I had a guy rubbing my thigh I had a guy come up to m
e and say lollipop lollipop and no you know what is it called knock me in my private pass gently and yeah it's creepy but this gets me to my point don't be overly friendly that was my problem I'm really friendly I'll chat to anybody you know say hello I'll chat away and I'll go have a coffee with them or whatever but this is often taken as the wrong wrong signal you know if you're being true friendly guys can take it the wrong way is and you want to sleep with them that's what I've experienced i
f you get into a problem like Jordan was in you can call the Delhi police and they will happily come pick you up from your room blast the guys downstairs and file a police report against them and you don't have to have a sim to call the Delhi police you can call an emergency number anywhere in the world from your smartphone it's an emergency system on your phone which will connect to some cell phone networking and can you to the police and actually this kind of harassment it happens everywhere i
n the world so when you're traveling especially as a solo female which I know is totally unfair you have to be extra prepared when you're traveling especially alone you know even in in this situation in her situation in India she wasn't alone she was with her boyfriend she still had those terrible things happening to it so you just have to be prepared I really hope that I haven't scared you too much with this video I want you to come to India I want you to have a life-changing experience in Indi
a I want you to love India I want you to have a positive experience here and you know most tourists do that you just have to take some precautions you have to wive it up and get street smart before you come here okay then you can love India like I do and it turns out that Jordans fears were totally legitimate the police are investigating this hotel now and they have been closed I want to thank Jordan for telling her story and I've linked to the full video in the description and it goes on quite
a lot more and you can even see the guys standing outside her door it is creepy but I want to thank her because it is such a hard thing to do to speak out like this to tell your story to the whole world it's really really hard and despite what happened to her in India Jordan say she loved her time here and she wants to come back so you guys go to her video leave a comment leave some love and invite her back to incredible India thank God for now

He isnt trying to disrespect indians... he is trying to make us safe

@syedrayyananwar7750

As an Indian, Delhi is the most unsafe city for women. I’m really disheartened to see people are complaining about our country. Thank you very much brother Karl for helping everyone!

@TotalImmort7l

The lawyer is a live example of the fact that "the ability to speak does not make you intelligent"

@ninjapirate123

The fact that she lived in China for 1 year and never got harassed but she was in India for a few days and had so many problems says it all

@PriyanshuKumar-dm9vr

My eyes are really filled with tears now... literally there are monsters living in this society

@fundamentalscience56

I am an Indian girl😭😭 and finally i found a guy who not only understood but addressed the problem also. Hats off to you karl🤧 thank you🙏

@aestheticilyy8163

I'm an INDIAN SCHOOL GOING GIRL, I don't feel safe to travel in public transport and even if I have to travel I have to make sure my friend is with me 😢

@PV-re8kd

I was 11 years old in 2012 and going to visit Akshardham temple in a public bus in New Delhi with my family, where this guy groped my chest from behind for a few moments.... I didn't know about such ill gestures and didn't understand why he was doing that but it felt very uneasy. It was so crowded there and my parents were standing far behind me. I didn't see his face, but when we left the bus, one of the guys was smiling so sinisterly at me that it shook me to my soul. Please, make every child around you aware about 'good& bad' touches& don't ever just stare if something like this or worse happens in front of you🙏🙏🙏🙏

@shehzadibrahim203

I think Karl should be appointed in foreign ministry to help foreigners in thier trouble.hes doing things adventurous we can never imagine

@utpalpanja7352

As a Indian, I can say you that this harassment is real

@valencehockey1668

I was born in India and now live in Canada. Instead of fully appreciating Canada, I took it for granted. This video, on the other hand, portrayed how my life would be if I lived in India. Hope India gets better.

@bloo-d4421

As an Indian I can tell this man understands the country.

@uthkarshdatt1070

Those lawyers were the worst! This video should have more views....atleast 10M

@sariuca

I lived in India for three months and I have to say that unfortunately I never felt safe walking in the street. Men will always stare and look at me in pervy ways, even though I always wore appropriate clothes for the culture...it is a shame because if it wasn't because of that I would have enjoyed it a lot. But it was enough to put me off going back

@mishti1870

Hats off to this person... being a foreigner...he has more knowledge...then ordinary Indian people

@harshitaprusty6640

"A decent girl won't roam around at 9 o'clock at night" What were u being a 'decent man' doing outside the house after 9?

@palveerthegreat7378

As an Indian Boy I’m sorry.. We need people like you Karl you aren’t wrong..

@lennyljungholm5821

My friends went to India a few weeks ago with their small children. People were staring at them and taking up close pictures of them and their children, following them around, saying nasty things to his wife. Little children in groups came up to them trying to tickle them while yanking their jewelry. They were all terrified and traumatized from being there and never want to go back.

@myranaam8562

lol i'm indian. and i still wouldnt go to india alone.

@Snowapplyby

" This is like a horror movie" Nah, this is a legitimate horror movie. They attempted to shut off all her utilities to have her eventually crack so they could take advantage of her.
