There was a time sexual harassment at work was an issue shrouded under a veil of shame. Women who were at the receiving end of unwanted sexual attention either from peers or superiors did not report it for fear of ridicule. In case they raised a voice against it, their employment could be terminated. Sexual harassment at work is one of the leading causes of attrition for women at work.

Rape victims just want their tormentors to stop

blog1Tarun Tejpal is a famous name in India. He was once regarded as a bold journalist who used sting operations to expose scandals, but he now languishes in jail, accused of sexually assaulting a female colleague while travelling in a lift. Despite the allegations, several notable Indian artists and socialites have come to his side at this time of need. Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap is one of them. Kashyap claims to have seen the video footage on which the girl bases her claims of having been sexually assaulted and says he doesn’t think what the girl said was true.
