GENDER INEQUALITY: CAREER

 



Gender Inequality In Career (Descriptive Essay)

 It is widely acknowledged that workplace sexual harassment is a form of bias and has harmed our society greatly. Sexual harassment is offensive behaviour which is making unwelcome sexual remarks. According to Welsh, S.(1999), sexual harassment continues to hamper employment opportunities for many women and men. As a matter of fact, in some cases, the issues which are related to sexual harassment in the workplace would ruin and affect someone’s whole life.­

Mary was a diligent and brisk person when she was young. Mary experienced a horrible sexual harassment incident when she was working in a foreign company and she was never expecting this tragedy would happen to her. Mary is a graduate student who completed her bachelor’s degree in accounting at the University of Malaya. There is no denying that she was hired by a foreign company and offered a high-paying job.

At this point, Mary was in a state of shock when her boss sometimes would put his hand on her thigh or butt. However, her boss knew she would not say anything because she was shy and young. She was low-spirited and distressed when it is a working day. As an example, she was not concentrating when she was presenting budget expenditures in the meeting. “I didn’t report him because I need this job for a living”, said Mary. In addition, she was cold-feet and overwhelmed due to her own clueless to report her boss.

Furthermore, Mary’s boss frequently told her to wear a shorter skirt to get the chance for a promotion. Mary gave vent to her anger about how it was unfair treatment between the gender after the incident happened. More specifically, Mary felt frustrated and annoyed that despite it being a foreign company but that is nobody would give her a helping hand.

            To sum up, workplace sexual harassment would give a lot of impact on someone’s life who has experienced it. In other words, victims of sexual harassment can suffer psychological effects and emotional effects such as anxiety, shame, sleep disorders and so on. As a result, if you are a victim of sexual harassment, please take some action to save yourself like reporting concerns or complaints about discrimination to the government agency.
