SEXUAL HARASSMENT
Sexual harassment, alongside sexual assault, represents one of the most striking challenges confronting women in Africa. Despite a decades-long effort by religious organisations, governments and civil society activists to eradicate or at least limit the problem, it has continued unabated, with many women falling victims to the menace.

The EEOC has defined sexual harassment in its guidelines as: Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical. conduct of a sexual nature when.Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or. condition of an individual's employment
Sexual harassment in the workplace is different from general sexual harassment in that it is directly related to the way one makes a living. It is often used as a form of power-play, and can occur in many stages. Many women have described how it feels to be harras sexually
The impact of sexual harassment can vary. In research carried out by the EU Fundamental Rights Agency, 17,335 female victims of sexual assault were asked to name the feelings that resulted from the most serious incident of sexual assault that they had encountered since the age of 15. 'Anger, annoyance and embarrassment were the most common emotional responses, with 45% of women feeling anger, 41% annoyance and 36% embarrassment. Also, close to one in three women (29 %) who has experienced sexual harassment says that she felt fearful as a result of the most serious incident, while one in five (20%) victims say that the most serious incident made her feel ashamed of what had taken place.
I will love it if steemians in Africa comes together and start campaign to help prevent sexual harassment in all stages that happens in all stages.Sexual harassment and assault may be prevented by
secondary school, college, and workplace education programs. At least one program for
fraternity men produced "sustained behavioral change". Together we can make this happen.
Not just EEOC but its version of OCREO within the federal government as well. Asian-American federal employees working for the Social Security Administration are being discriminated at an alarming rate.
SSA is a declining federal agency which has always touting social assistance and societal equality but the unwelcoming disrespect and the hostility is worsening. The ethnic rank-and-file who do not belong to one of the BIG THREE group are feeling the heated aggression big time including from their own AFGE union reps against lower-level Asian-American field employees. It is so rampant that it forcibly pitted some Asian-American supervisors to be equally or exceeded the viciousness toward these unrepresented employees.
Based on this discriminatory culture, it is the only way for many SSA supervisors to prove their management prowess and self-worth recognition by harassing other Asian-American employees. The agency would also look the other way when it comes to lack promotion or retention of those Asian-Americans who are promoted. The Boston and Dallas/Fort Worth Area field offices are the worst for those unfortunate Asian employees amid this whole unchecked discriminatory culture within a much declining USA federal government agency in 2019!!!!!!!!
