The fact is that most of us do not KNOW what constitutes sexual harassment-


Educate yourself and play safe.

■ Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that creates a hostile or offensive environment. 

■ Here's a more detailed explanation:
●UNWELCOME NATURE:
The key element is that the behavior is not wanted or desired by the recipient. 

●SEXUAL HARASSMENT CAN INCLUDE: 
Unwelcome sexual advances: This includes unwanted physical , gestures, or verbal comments of a sexual nature. 

●Requests for sexual favors: This can involve pressure or coercion for sexual activity in exchange for employment benefits or other advantages. 

●Verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature: 
This can include offensive jokes, slurs, epithets, or name-calling, as well as physical assaults or threats, intimidation, ridicule, mockery, insults, or put-downs. 

■HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT:
Sexual harassment can create a hostile or offensive work environment when the behavior is pervasive, severe, or creates an intimidating, hostile, or abusive atmosphere. 

■EXAMPLES: 
●Unwelcome sexual comments, jokes, or innuendoes. 

●Continuing to ask for a date or sex after someone refused. 

●Pressuring someone for sexual activity. 

●Talking about a person's body, clothing, or sexual orientation. 

■WHO CAN BE A HARASSER? 
•Supervisors 
•Co-workers 
•Non-employees, such as clients or customers 
•Male and Female

■LEGAL FRAMEWORK: 
Nigeria has laws and legal frameworks to address sexual harassment, including the Constitution of Nigeria, federal laws, state laws, and international instruments. 

●The National Industrial Courts have been commended for their innovations on workplace sexual harassment through their judgments and rules of court. Good job.

💢But we need to go further with enforcements of such laws and constitutional provisions in social settings too.

💥God bless Nigeria.

Honestly, in Africa most of the things you call sexual harassment are not seen in that way. I in my village in the past, an adult will call a small girl my wife in the presence of the parents and people will laugh it off. Some parents will even say we are expecting big bride price from you o. You see a young girl and you say my dear wife.

It is the African way, part of which makes us communal forming bonds to make good community and society, which also caters for our mental health.

Throw away this communal lifestyle, and we will begin to live like robots just as the western society. And of course, our mental health will suffer greatly and depreciate even if we are in the midst of abundance.

Unless we are pretending, distinguished senator Natasha wouldn’t have accused the senate president of sexual harassment if he wasn’t trying to chyke her.

A man who has no control over his sexual desires is a problem in the workspace, especially when he’s in a position of power. This issue should be dealt with without wearing the cloak of party loyalty because today, it’s Natasha, it could be you or your relative tomorrow.

A lot of ignorant fellow have been attacking Natasha for not reporting to the police bla bla bla.
The fact is any sexual offense outside rape is treated as minor issue in Nigeria.
Conviction is nearly impossible regardless of the evidence presented.
So, the only penalty lies in workplace disciplinary actions such as suspension, demotion or sack.
