Jasmine Curtis-Smith thanks supporters fighting for women's rights and respect.
Jasmine Curtis-Smith once again speaks out about harassment and misogyny.
In a report on 24 Oras, Jasmine thanked supporters who continue to fight against the disrespect towards women in the country.
She also stressed the importance of educating young boys about treating women properly.
"Sana po turuan natin ang mga batang lalake, mula bata pa lang turuan natin sila kung ano ang importansya sa pagrerespeto, sa pagbibigay-pugay, sa pag-a-appreciate, at hindi lang 'yun, pagsusuporta sa mga kababaihan," she stated.
According to Saleema Refran, Jasmine refrained commenting further on the controversial remarks by Quezon City Representative Bong Suntay about her sister, Anne Curtis.
She also did not respond to Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, who defended Suntay's statements and criticized Jasmine for posting bikini photos on social media.
"Ikaw Jasmine, bakit ka nagpopost ng mga bikini pictures mo sa social media? Sa mga pahayagan? Hindi ba para ika'y pagnasaan? Para ikaw ay sumikat? 'Wag mong sabihing art 'yun?" the attorney said on his radio program.
"Lalaki 'yan eh, 'wag na tayong magplastikan, ang mga lalaki nagnanasa 'yan talaga. We are wired for that. Let's not be hypocrites. Ako dati pinagnasaan ko rin si Sarah Elago eh. Eh naamoy ko nung hearing namin sa [Department of Justice]. Magalit na kayo kung magagalit sa akin, I don't care," he added.
Earlier, however, Jasmine called out the public servant on social media.
"Yowwwww what the actual?????? What the!!!! Dugyot ka!" Jasmine wrote in an Instagram story.
Her recent post follows her earlier reaction to Suntay's controversial statement, where he recounted allegedly seeing Anne at a mall and said he merely imagined what could possibly happen.
"This moment is not about one female celebrity. It is about how ALL WOMEN, regardless of profession, continue to be reduced to bodies in spaces dominated by men in power,” she firmly said in a Facebook post.
"...Respect is not complicated. If we want safer environments for our daughters, nieces, and future leaders, accountability must begin with those elected to represent us," she mentioned.
