A woman surnamed Zeng who used to work in the ring circle broke the news on Facebook on the 7th that she was sexually harassed by Cai Zhongyue, the current executive director of the Earth Citizens Foundation, who hugged her waist and touched her legs more than 10 years ago. Zeng Nv complained that Cai Zhongyue hugged her waist and touched her thigh in a public meeting with crowded seats. After the incident, she responded privately to her colleagues, but she was comforted by “many people like him”, “it should be fine”, and “be patient for the country”. The incident did not hold a mediation meeting until March last year under the witness of the elders of the ring group. Cai Zhongyue said “I don’t remember”, and finally let it go.

The reporter tried to contact Cai Zhongyue by calling or sending private messages on Facebook, but as of press time, there was still no response.

Zeng Nv worked in the Earth Citizen Foundation more than 10 years ago, responsible for related work in Hualien and Taitung. Zeng Nv said that Cai Zhongyue was her direct supervisor at the time, and the two attended a public meeting and sat side by side. Because there were so many people at that time, Cai Zhongyue’s hands went straight through the chair and touched her waist and thighs in a way of “hooking her waist and hooking her shoulders and back”.

Zeng Nv said that the first time she moved her body to express her refusal, but there were too many people in the meeting, and no one noticed the abnormality, so she might only retreat in this posture, with no way to retreat, and her scalp was numb under the table almost in the form of being half hugged Have a full meeting.

Nv Zeng emphasized that she and Cai Zhongyue met in the third year of their junior year. They are both from Hualien. At first, he was a star senior in her eyes. He would call to discuss things in the middle of the night. He used to be a very good friend. But this filter was quickly broken following working together. She was even more “suffocated and embarrassed” in the meeting that lasted for an unknown amount of time.

Zeng Nv said that long before that, Cai Zhongyue would pull away regardless of the excessively close physical distance. At the time of the incident, she already had a boyfriend and was even acquainted with Cai Zhongyue’s girlfriend. She was shocked and unbelievable by Cai Zhongyue’s behavior.

“His image and popularity are so good that no one will stand by me. This kind of fear occupies my whole body.” Afterwards, Zeng Nv privately sought help from a female colleague, but was told “Are you sure? Did you really encounter it?” ?”, “Well, even if there is, it should be okay, did you accidentally meet him? You know that Zhongyue is very important, and he is for the country, you understand? Think once more”, “Normal, many people like him Ah” answer.

Zeng Nv said that following the incident, what followed was Cai Zhongyue’s office bullying and cold violence once morest her. After resigning, she is still working hard in the ring group industry, but the shadow is still lingering, and she is constantly affected by related people, and her physical and mental health are under great pressure. Later, with the assistance of Lin Ziling, secretary-general of the Taiwan Association for Cherishing Roots, a coordination meeting was held on March 16 last year. People who attended were sometimes the CEO of Earth Citizen Li Genzheng, the then deputy CEO Cai Zhongyue, and lawyers, sexual harassment, improper dismissal, Mediation for office bullying, rumors and other incidents.

At the mediation meeting, Cai Zhongyue used the skills of a social worker to talk and listen to her experience, saying that he empathized with her and felt sad, but he “doesn’t remember.” Zeng Nv complained that many vivid things, not only sexual harassment, but also other groups remember, but Cai Zhongyue and Li Genzheng looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison, “Do you remember?” Cai Zhongyue replied with a smile, “Sorry, I really I don’t remember”, leaving Zeng Nv speechless.

“I’m still scared following typing the last word. I didn’t do anything wrong, right, I really felt uncomfortable, and I hid it. I tried my best to say it.” “For more than ten years, I haven’t been able to say it.” The multiple standards in this circle will give people the feeling of collapse at any time.”

Zeng Nv finally emphasized that she hopes that the citizens of the earth will face up to and reflect on the mistakes made once morest her, and also said that “she is not the only victim.”

Many netizens supported “You are not wrong, you are very brave” at the bottom of the article. Lin Renhui, the former secretary-general of the Environmental Lawyers Association who facilitated the mediation meeting, also left a message at the bottom of the article, “I am still waiting for Zhongyue and Genzheng to promise to do an investigation. Follow-up response, direct and indirect reminders, no response.”
