“Sexual Harassment”
Over the years, many people believed that the
issue of sexual harassment should not be discussed in
public and some thought that it was a joke but for
those who know, sexual harassment is no joke! Sexual
harassment can cause mental and emotional pain and
worry for people who are the victims, which can affect
their well-being physically and emotionally. The
stopstreetharassment website said 81% of women and
43% of men were sexually harassed in 2019. It’s a big
problem, and one that needs to be solved urgently.
Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Nowadays, many people who work in offices are
regularly victims of sexual harassment by their boss or
their co-workers, to the point where it is considered
normal. Not only females employees have a sexual
harassment problem, but males are also affected from
this issue. They may also receive the problem of
harassment from people’s critical views and their
reactions on them. This leads the people who have
harassment problems to suffer from anxiety and stress
disorders which can contribute to unhealthy thinking
in their workplaces. They may feel anxious about work
and absentee rates could rise.
