Viral video of woman beating her Boss with mop stick after he allegedly harassed her

A government official in northeastern China has been fired after a video emerged of a woman attacking him with a mop while accusing him of sexual harassment. 

The 14-minute video that went viral shows the official’s subordinate, surnamed Zhou, throwing items on his desk before retrieving a mop to attack the man, surnamed Wang, the deputy director of the poverty alleviation department of Beilin district, in Heilongjiang Province.

She claims that she received unwanted text messages from him three times, and he reportedly sent similar ones to her co-workers.

According to The Independent, Zhou’s boss, who has been identified as Wang, was fired after the incident.

Zhou filed a police report about her boss last week, and the authorities were allegedly looking into her report before the video of her went viral.

Several social media users have commended her bravery and her demand for justice.

While Chinese law prohibits sexual harassment and requires employers to take actions to prevent inappropriate behavior in the workplace, activists have argued that these policies are rarely put into practice, and women in recent years have become the target of retaliatory lawsuits from their accused harassers.
