I think less than one case is probably the goal.

I view that statistic in reality as 6 people, I'm assuming mostly women, getting sexually harassed every day, creating a culture of harassment that even if you don't get harassed that day, you know that half a dozen other people just like you were sexually harassed that day, and yesterday, and tomorrow.

By putting up that sign of awareness, hopefully fewer people will view reporting sexual harassment or mentioning it at all as taboo so that everyone can help push the number back down and further down past prepandemic levels.
