but after all its law......an entire days class is a little too tiring. maybe the faculty sensed that in us and so he shifted to the subject that would interest us the most- sexual harassment at work.
ever wondered what sexual harassment is?
to define it...
sexual harassment includes unwelcome sexually determined behavior as:
1. physical contact and advances
2. a demand or request for sexual favours
3. sexually coloured remarks
4.showing pornography
5. any other physical, verbal or non verbal conduct of sexual nature.
still dont understand what dis means? well it goes like this....if you would touch a girl in a sexual way without her consent, talk to her in a vulgar manner or even look at her in a not so decent way....they all come under sexual harassment.
and its not over with that....if you show a woman pornography or even keep porn pictures or videos in such a way that she feels you put that there to show her, well that is also harassment.
all a woman need to do is file an FIR with the nearest police station.
if this was done at the workplace, the mans job is gone the next day. if the woman reports the case to the head of the organisation first and he does not take any action, then the head will also be in deep trouble.
this is no child's play. the man can be even behind bars for what he has done. needless to speak of his public image henceforth.
protests are there by men for such stringent laws. but why all the hungamma? just don't harass women by treating them as mere sex objects. no decent woman of sane mind would file a suite of sexual harassment just for the heck of it.
all i want to say at this point of time is- women are bolder these days and they have the law at their aid. so GUYS BEWARE!
