"Put her hand on her leg"
Automatically saved draft
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has spoken in a podcast about her experiences with sexual harassment - and admitted that there have been many such cases in her life.
"Wow, how often has that actually happened to you?", she thought during the Metoo debate a few years ago, said the 44-year-old in an interview with model and podcaster Stefanie Giesinger (28). According to Baerbock, she remembered being attacked by an older man on a bus when she was at school.
Shame must change sides.

"He then started to put his hand on my leg," the Green politician describes. She didn't dare to get out. "It took me five stops to dare to sit down." She didn't even tell her mother about the scene. "It's still so vivid in my mind's eye, although I'd actually completely forgotten about it." There had been many similar cases in her life.
Baerbock admits that she felt shame in the situation on the bus. But she appealed: "Shame must change sides." That is why it is important to talk about it. In the podcast "G Spot with Stefanie Giesinger" published on the Spotify platform on Wednesday, the politician also chatted about feminist foreign policy and her path into politics.
