In recent days, a lurid story relating to fruit bats, academic freedom and sexual harrassment has exploded across the Internet. (Check out #fruitbatgate or Dylan Evans on Twitter.)
Publications like The New Scientist and the Huffington Post have picked up the story, but the most thoughtful piece that I have seen on this bizarre subject comes from Ferdinand von Prondzynski, President of DCU. Worth reading.
A day in the life of Chhun Srey Sros, a garment factory worker in Cambodia (photo 4 of 9):
“I have worked here for the past three years. After my father passed away, my nine siblings and I had to work to support the family. My sisters all work in this factory or in factories close by.”
The factory in Sangkat Chaom Chao where Srey Sros works is at the forefront in addressing and fighting sexual harassment in the work place. The project on sexual harassment helped create a sexual harassment campaign in the factory, and the factory has now adopted a policy that encourages workers to report harassment and ensures that actions would be taken against the perpetrators.

Srey Sros walks through a market in Sangkat Chaom Chao, shopping for food, on her way back home from the factory. She then heads home to cook dinner while listening to the radio. She doesn’t have a television set and she keeps the radio volume low, so that her neighbours are not disturbed.

"I eat here every day as Auntie knows how to make it delicious,” Srey Sros stops for breakfast near her small rented room in Phnom Penh, which she shares with her siblings. She eats the same breakfast every day of rice porridge, for which she pays 1500 riel (0.3 USD). She starts working at 6.30 a.m. every day, and finishes by 3.30 p.m, unless she is working overtime.

“Preventing sexual harassment means to empower women at the workplace,” says Srey Sros. “When sexual harassment takes place, it doesn’t only affect an individual, it affects at a collective level.”

A day in the life of Chhun Srey Sros, a garment factory worker in Cambodia (photo 3 of 9):
“Cambodian culture says that men are seen as gold and women are seen as cloths. It is not fair. Life as a woman is challenging,” says Chhun Srey Sros, . Sexual harassment on the streets or at work is common in Cambodia. Through the UN Women-supported project on sexual harassment in the work place, Srey Sros and many of her colleagues have learnt how to speak out against harassment. The project aims to reach 40,000 garment factory workers between 2013 and 2016.

In Cambodia, 70 per cent of women are engaged in vulnerable employment; more than 500,000 work in garment and footwear factories. Empowering women to exercise their rights to decent work, UN Trust Fund to End Violence against Women (managed by UN Women on behalf of the UN system) is working closely with partners to ensure discrimination-free work environments in Cambodian factories.
Chhun Srey Sros, 24, lives in Sangkat Chaom Chao and works in a Cambodian factory where UN Trust Fund and its partner, CARE, have developed and distributed educational materials and a sexual harassment policy for the work place. Sixth among 10 siblings, Srey Sros dropped out of school when she was in 10th grade to support herself and her family. She has worked in the garment factory for three years and makes up to $200 per month with over time.

“Since the project on sexual harassment started I have learnt a lot. I understood how we can stop sexual harassment by standing together.”
Srey Sros has worked her way up to a supervisor and heads a section responsible for cutting hems for the garments made at the factory.

“Women in my community are sometimes scared of being outside late because they neighbors speak badly of them. If we stay outside the house overnight, we are called names and judged.” Srey Sros tries to go home before dark, to avoid rumors. But the project has empowered her to speak out against this discrimination. “It´s not justice, and it is not fair,” she says.
Her dream is to save enough money to own a grocery store in her hometown and start a family.

It was like any other day in office and as usual, I was glued to my laptop until my phone buzzed at 10 A.M.
“Sanjeev, come to my cabin, NOW” my reporting manager shouted from the other end.
I rushed to his cabin. However, before entering I peeped in through the glass window, he looked furious and upset.
Before I could enter and close the door, he screamed “Sanjeev, I want you to fire Pankaj immediately.”
It was an email from Neha Desai, our training manager. She had sent an email to Raj, our VP-HR with CC to all C-Level Executives, accusing Pankaj of sexually harassing her during their tour to Ahmedabad together. She demanded an immediate action against Pankaj or else she would file a police complaint.
“Pankaj, don’t pretend. What did you do with Neha in Ahmedabad?” I asked him angrily.
“I didn’t do anything to Neha Madam. What are you talking about?” he said innocently.
“Pankaj, Neha has filed a complaint against you sexually harassed her. I have instructions to fire you”, I informed him.
With tears rolling down his cheeks, he began, “That day when we reached Ahmedabad…”
“Don’t hide anything. I want to know everything”, I interrupted.
He could barely speak. He took two hours to narrate the entire incident.
Sexual Abuse of a Man at Workplace
“The day before our departure to Ahmedabad, Neha Madam called me to inform that instead of her team member, Pooja, she would come along with me as Pooja was unwell. She asked me to wait near Kingfisher counter. Our flight was at 7:40 am. I reached the airport at 5:30 am and madam came by 6 am. After going through security check, we learnt that many flights were delayed or cancelled due to fog. Our flight too was rescheduled for 8:45 am and then for 10 am and finally was cancelled. Upon our request, the staff agreed to accommodate us in next flight at 3:15 PM and boarding passes could be collected at 1 PM.

She ordered for coffee and asked me if it was alright with me if she changed into something comfortable. I said that’s alright. Within 5 minutes, she came out in a red colour nightgown. While waiting for coffee, she tried to probe into my love life, bedroom life, etc. After coffee, when I was about to leave, she held my hand and said she was scared of sleeping alone and if I could share the room with her. I declined but she advanced on me and started kissing saying no one would ever come to know. I was terrified. I prised myself away and ran towards the door. She yelled at me that no one ever refused her, not even CEO. Then she threatened me of dire consequences if I didn’t submit myself to her. I pleaded to let go of me. She laughed, looked at me sarcastically while I was leaving.
Induction program went very well. After lunch, she requested if she could use my room to change her clothes for her scheduled flight to Bangalore at 6 PM. I agreed. She then asked me to come to the room to finish last night’s pending work. I ignored and told her to submit my keys at reception when she is done. She left fuming.
I was revolted, more by the fact that it was impossible to present any proof of Pankaj’s innocence.
“Let me see what can be done”, I assured him. And we walked out of the conference room.
I fixed a meeting with Raj after half an hour. I asked Pankaj to accompany me.
“Sir, he is Pankaj”, I introduced.
Raj fixed me with a fierce gaze. “Sanjeev, what is he doing in my cabin? Why is this pervert not fired yet”?
“Sir, we need 5 minutes of your time. That email is bogus. You must hear him out as well. Please, Sir. Just 5 minutes”, I pleaded like anything.
“Okay, tell me and stick to objective”, he said, turning his focus back to his laptop.
And then he begins to type something on this laptop as if he is least interested.
Pankaj narrated everything again. Once he finished, Raj asked him to leave and told me to sit.
“Sanjeev, why are you meddling with the things? The decision has been taken. Pankaj needs to go”, He told me.
“Sir, he is innocent. He has a family to look after. We need to give him a fair chance”, I justified.
“Innocent? How do you know that? Maybe he is creating a story. For a moment, even if I believe what he is saying is right then what? Who else will believe his story”, he countered.
“But sir, as Pankaj said and even I have heard from few employees that she sleeps with others in organization…” I said before he interrupted.
“Sanjeev, you have lost it. No one will come forward to give statements against her. Pankaj could have done what others did. What’s so big deal? Look we don’t have time to waste. If she goes to the police, it will affect the reputation of the organization. It’s not worth a risk for a junior employee. Let him go. You will get better people. There are many available in the market”, I explained.
“Sir, he belongs to a very poor family. He is the only breadwinner in the family. It will affect their economic condition. I am sure, we can do something”, I requested him.
“Alright, give me time to think. I will get back to you by tomorrow morning. Let me speak to Neha and our CEO”, he assured me.
Next day morning, as soon as Raj reached the office, he called me into his cabin.
“Sanjeev, I spoke to our CEO and Neha. Considering his financial situation, Neha has agreed to take back her complaint, provided Pankaj give her written apology. We must give him a written warning for insubordination of his senior. There must not be any complaint against him. One more complaint and he will be out”, He pronounced.
Pankaj wrote an apology to Neha. I gave him a written warning. A copy of the warning was placed in his personal file.
Within next two months, Pankaj got a new job and he moved out. Neha has also left the company. I also moved out of the organization for another assignment.
This incident made me ponder that even males could be a victim of sexual harassment. Our society doesn’t endorse. We have no legislation to cover sexual crimes against men. Sexual relation is a personal choice. Forcing anyone into a physical relation is rape.
With this tale, I am neither denoting that all females in corporate are Neha nor endorsing that all males are Pankaj. This world is full of good and bad people of both sexes. Let’s not be biased and let’s not judge someone blindfolded.
What would you have done had you been in place of Pankaj? Please share your feedback and experiences.

Okay okay, so I was looking through the photographs and noticed that this photo has 75 views while the rest of the pictures have numbers like 2-3 views. So, can someone tell me how on earth did you find this photo??? Cause now my curiosity is peaked...
Interesting this is not an issue going away. This particular train car was set up in June 2008. Others exist in Nagoya and have for some time I'm Tokyo. The objective? Isolate women in one car so the perverts can't get at them. I'm sure they have some statistics somewhere proving how effective this program is. I have my doubts.
Ici une intervenante de Lille, dont l'Université témoigne d'une vraie politique de lutte contre ces abus.
All the Japanese girls in reception decided they could not contain themselves any longer. They.had.to.touch.the.boobies.

This is an image from my company's online sexual harrassment training program. It's supercreepshow in sooo many ways. The intended purpose is to demonstrate that the young shy person with poorly photoshopped light sources on the right is uncomfortable with the zombie's sexual advances. I think.
So much FAIL = so much WIN!

I think she should file sexual harassment charges!
