Sense and Sensuality in the Workplace

With the company of my friends, we went to Augusto Rosario Theater in Main building to witness the seminar regarding sense and sensuality in the workplace, which was facilitated by Miss Jasmine. This occurred last March 04, 1:00-2:30 pm.

The facilitator discussed some topics about sexual harassments in a workplace. This matter is defined as an unwelcome sexual advance or conduct on the job that creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. It makes an employee uncomfortable and feel disrespected. She explained and made us aware that the most typical type of sexual harassments is male-on-female yet the incidence of female-on-male and same-sex harassment is rising. We made our minds clear through the speaker’s words of being brave enough to inform this matter to the immediate supervisor or to the Human Resource Department and not taking the risk ignoring such situations. In order to prevent and stop sexual harassments, the speaker had given us some tips on what to do in some specific scenarios. In case it happened to us, we should tell directly to the harasser that his/her behaviors offend us. We should decisively refuse all invitations. And if it doesn’t end, another way to avoid it is through writing a letter to make it more official asking the harasser to stop and make sure to keep a copy of it.  She explained further the rules and regulations regarding the sexual harassment.

With the growing number of sexual harassment in a workplace, it’s a must to take an action and be responsible and courageous enough to stop it. After hearing her words of wisdom, we now have the idea on how to deal with it and face our fears in case this plight occurs, which shows its relevance. We must learn how to fight for the sake of ourselves and understand the word justice. That this will not only help us but also the next generation.
