Will sexual harassment at work ever be eliminated?Dr Michael is spot on. Men like you should be seen in the media, the present youth role models we so often see are abusing women and lately even animals.
Emily Maguire you are so right.
It's not enough for organisations to have sexual harassment policies; they need to regularly reinforce them through training that treats sexual harassment as bullying rather than over-enthusiastic flirting, and then follow through by treating sexual harassment complaints as seriously as any other kind of workplace aggression. Meanwhile, the wider community can help by loudly supporting the courageous whistleblowers who risk vilification and career ruin by publicly exposing harassers.
There'll always be creeps and bullies, but while eliminating sexual harassment may be impossible, eliminating workplace cultures that give harassers tacit approval and silence victims is not.
Emily Maguire is a novelist and journalist.
