Sexual harassment at workplace

-

 


BE sacked and proceeded against under relevant laws. It is not about a profession or a specific stratum tempering with the chastity of hapless young women but the mentality we as a nation are at war with. See to this, if it was a clergyman, the entire mass media and the pseudo-journalists (arzan baya Journalists) leave no stone unturned in giving the issue coverage, demeaning the culprit and reaching out to the suppressed party. The keyboard warriors are, therefore, requested to reach out to the affected party and makes vids and films of her and give her due coverage so that her case is heard, culprit is tried and they (keyboard warriors) earn bucks. This is how one gets speedy justice in Pakistan which is very unfortunate.


Laws in respect of sexual harassment at workplace:

Government of Pakistan in 2010 not only enacted a special law for preventing sexual harassment at workplace but also amended section 509 of Pakistan Penal Code (PPC). Now it clearly defines harassment and includes harassment at workplace as well. It has also raised the maximum punishment for perpetrator from one to three years. Now under section 509 of Pakistan Penal Code, insulting the modesty of women or sexually harassing them, is a crime. The perpetrator of this crime may be punished with imprisonment, which may extend to 3 years or fine up to PKR 500,000 (5 lakh) or with both. However, this crime is still bailable and compoundable (parties can settle the case between themselves even when matter is in the court, after permission of the court).

Also:

If the plaintiff wishes to immediately bring a case of sexual harassment into the notice of relevant govt. agency, they can make use of the following information. Write the incident comprehensively including every possible detail of the culprit and of yourself and send it to;

1.    Email: complaints@fia.gov.pk. (http://complaint.fia.gov.pk/)

2.    Helpline: 111-345-786.

3.    Address: FIA Headquarters, Muhammad Tufail Niazi Rd, G 9/4, Islamabad, PK.

  Let's educate you about something the ppl on the internet are least interested to talk about. Native American Languages: Native American languages are the languages that were spoken by the indigenous people of the Americas prior to the arrival of Europeans. These languages are still spoken today by many American Indians, Alaska Natives, and First Nations people. There are hundreds of different Native American languages, each with its own distinct history and culture. Some of the most commonly spoken Native American languages are Navajo, Cherokee, Lakota, and Ojibwe. Many of these languages have been lost over time, but many have also been preserved and documented. The languages of Native Americans are important sources of knowledge and understanding of the cultures of the people who spoke them. Navajo is the most widely spoken Native American language, with over 200,000 speakers. It is a Southern Athabaskan language, spoken mainly in Arizona and New Mexico. Cherokee is the second...

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH MUSLIMS AND WHY DID THEY STOP PRODUCING SCIENTISTS?

WHAT WENT WRONG WITH MUSLIMS AND WHY DID THEY STOP PRODUCING SCIENTISTS? Not long ago after the fall of Mughals, British Colonizers put a complete halt to the intellectual and scientific creativity of Muslims by reshaping their education system. Here is how they did it. After the Brits invasion of Subcontinent, they enslaved the kings, murdered the intellectual brains including highly praised and well known Islamic figures. Next, they banned all Islamic and contemporary schools and brought a new education system to the Subcontinent which was based on mere language learning. The chief aim was to bar the locals including Muslims, Hindus, and Sikhs etc. from studying their history, religion and to outpace each other in learning a new foreign language. This is how British colonized the entire Globe. Through ‘Linguistic Reshaping’ of societies, British made the targeted societies beg for employment, food and shelter etc. and then provided them with what was needed conditionally. Local...

They are part of the larger Algonquian language family, which includes many other related tribes such as the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Shawnee. The Potawatomi were once part of a larger group of Woodland Indians, which included the Ojibwe, Ottawa, and Chippewa. The Potawatomi migrated westward from the Great Lakes region in the early 1700s, eventually settling in what is now Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, and Indiana. They were known for their trading skills and their ability to adapt to changing environments. They developed an extensive trading network, exchanging goods with other native tribes, the French, and the British. The Potawatomi were involved in the American Revolutionary War, fighting alongside the British against the Americans. After the war, they continued to remain in their traditional ...
