Sexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination which may be unwelcome ,verbal, visual or physical. It affects the working conditions and creates a hostile environment.
Yes I have experienced sexual harassment
It was happening as I felt like not able to defend myself because I had to keep my job. I was not able to say no to some of the pressure put on me by verbal and non verbal attitudes. I had to stop the job.
No awareness in the work place as sexual harassment is not really considered as an offence in Mauritius and laws are not applied. It is a problem because we (Women) can lose our jobs when we report it and their is the shame etc. Their will always be someone to say that we have ‘looked’ for it that we were dressed in an unproper way.
The person responsible for the reporting should be the manager and the affectted person#
Awareness campaigns on the rights of women in the workplace
Empowerment of women towards harassment.
