Hollywood was shocked last Thursday after American actress, Ashley Judd, accused film producer and Co-founder of Miramax, Harvey Weinstein, of sexual harassment.
As expected, there have been widespread condemnation even from the board of the Weinstein Company movie studio, from which Harvey has been fired.
However what is curious from the accounts of the victims is that all through the years Harvey preyed sexually on women, he was actively aided by associates and employees. A senior company executive, Irwin Reiter, admitted that the mistreatment of women was a serial problem at the Weinstein Company.
It is not uncommon for companies without a sexual harassment policy to have a thriving culture of complicity where employees not only look the other way but are also enlisted in subterfuge against the victim.
Sexual harassment especially by a senior executive is a problem many corporate organisations fail to address. This is because employers have refused to provide the most effective weapon against it which is prevention.
The first step in preventing workplace sexual harassment is by having a sexual harassment policy which is known to all employees and executives of the company. The policy details what languages and behaviours constitute sexual harassment. That way no employee can claim his or her actions are a ‘harmless prank’.
When an executive knows he could lose his job by indulging in sexual harassment, is it not likely that he would restrain from such?
Unfortunately, many workplaces have no such policies. As if that were not bad enough, there is no reporting mechanism in place to educate employees on how to handle workplace sexual harassment.
So what happens if your workplace has no sexual harassment policy and you find yourself in your boss’s crosshairs? There are a few steps you can take to protect yourself.
• Discuss with the person, in writing: Let the aggressor know you are not comfortable with their behavior. It is best to have this discussion by e-mail for three reasons. First, a record has been established of the harassment. Two, the mail could serve as evidence in the event you want to pursue legal action. Lastly, having the boldness to broach the subject might throw your aggressor off balance and cause him to stop.
• Get witnesses: If the situation persists, find a senior colleague you would be comfortable with, speaking about your situation. This person should also be someone in a position of authority to either speak to your aggressor or take action.
• Cover your end: Once a third party is involved, the situation is often more complex. Your colleagues could turn hostile simply because you voiced your complaints which is often the case. If the situation persists, it is best to start looking around for another job. It is most likely that your aggressor most especially when it is your boss, is already looking for ways to get you fired.
Every worker in an organization has a duty not to encourage or aid workplace harassment either by shaming the victim or setting them up with their aggressor. There is every possibility that such a person can be joined in a lawsuit with the aggressor.

I pray God always save we men from sexual harassment by this daughters of eve.

Sexual harassment should be enshrined into every establishment's policies. It should come first with Code of dressing. It should also be guided by known rules that stipulate the type of relationship that should exist within its staff.

*Careless laughs and closeness is taken serious.

Blissful enjoyment all the way

Maybe this can help out: http://tushmagazine.com.ng/work-romance-can-cake-eat/

Then you rely on a competent court of law to help handle your case ni. But you should always be on the look out for any harassment in the office and ensure there are enough evidences that will help you against any harasser.

Cute write up @ op, sexual harassment is heavily pronounced in Nigeria but as it has come to be our nature, if you wanna keep your hard to get job, then either play along or try to cope with it. THIS IS WRONG.
Lax laws, zero enforcement and victimisation of the whistle blower even by the law agencies make sexual harassment pass as an everyday affair . This has also pushed many a defenseless worker to make it a constant prayer point, praying against the boss albeit in cryptic manners :" every one in my place of work limiting my happiness, fall down and die".
Bottom line, its all gloom and compromise down here.

If am harrassed sexually na to return the favour na

The men will suffer as the women will dress seductively all the time.


Men are the biggest victims of workplace sexual harassment.

It seems when one person comes out to complain then that's when others queue up to do, always need just one to break the dam

There you go, weak men have began to come out on the thread to throw the blame back at the ladies for being sexually provocative.A lady can't feel comfortable in her skin anymore cos we have become sexual predators, hawks.
What is wrong with us? Seriously.

reporting system ke?! report to whom? did you consider the possibility that all your bosses are sexual predators.

All this space booker waiting to tap idea from other people's comment. Na so una dey leave una answer script blank for exams waiting for the bright ones to right something so una go copy? Comment or read n pass

In Nigeria nko?
