Speaker of Parliament Anita Among has implored women to speak up against any form of sexual harassment that they experience in their work places.
Among made the remarks during a meeting with female staff of parliament at Hotel Africana in Kampala last evening.
She called upon employers to safeguard against sexual harassment in the workplaces that is usually perpetuated by men against women.
She noted that no woman should have to tolerate such conduct as it violates the respect and dignity of the victim.
Parliamentary Commission has a fully-fledged anti-sexual harassment policy enshrined in Section 9 of the Parliamentary Service Human Resource Policy Manual.
Among said she was steadfast and clear, adding that no person is too powerful to be confronted.
Among expressed firm commitment to address the issue of sexual harassment that has impeded access to equitable treatment and opportunities in employment. END.
