Michaela Cross, an American student at the University of Chicago, has written a powerful account of her study abroad trip to India last year, during which she says she experienced relentless¹ sexual harassment², groping and worse.

美国芝加哥大学学生米夏埃拉·克罗斯日前撰文讲述了在印度期间再三经历性骚扰，回国后被诊断为创伤后紧张症，精神崩溃，不得不休学的经历。

Upon her return, she says she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder³ and is now on a mental leave of absence from the school after a public breakdown⁴ in the spring.

Cross, a fair-skinned, red-haired South Asian studies major, titled her story "India: The Story You Never Wanted to Hear." She posted her account on CNN iReport under the username RoseChasm.

Her story has struck a chord around the world, racking up about 350,000 page views as of Tuesday morning. It quickly found its way to India, where many readers sympathized with the story and men felt compelled to apologize for the experience she endured. Others called for greater perspective and warned against making generalizations⁵ about India or its people.

India's deadly gang rape⁶ of a 23-year-old woman in New Delhi happened a few days after Cross left India in December, and she said that helped others understand what she and her classmates went through. The country has continued to see several high-profile cases of rape and sexual violence cases since then, and the government has introduced tougher laws and punishment for sexual crimes.
