No details in the link, and no definitions of what constitutes 'sexual harassment' in context. We need that to get a starting point.
"Largely driven by power imbalances, gender inequality and exclusion and a lack of accountability,"
Where is the evidence for these conclusions? How is there, for example, 'exclusion' given the number of female staff etc? How is there 'gender inequality' when they all receive the same pay etc? You no like - no work for that office.....
This is becoming a hobby horse... not a trial of facts.
In one of my jobs, we all had to undertake harassment and equal opportunity training every year.
( that's what happens when the entire HR department is female)
One particular one was a standout.
The "trainer" was a screaming dyke.
It was anti male from start to finish.
And the whole time she was flirting with a shela in the front row.
There was an electronic questionnaire at the end with a 100% pass required.
You could sit it as many times as it took to sink in.
Every question was loaded so that everything, no matter how minor was considered sexual harassment.
The only way to pass was to simply state that all men were sexual molesters.
For example
Jane walks into a room with Peter.
Which is the correct response.
Peter stands and offers his had and says hello Jane.
Peter stands and moves around the desk and offers Jane a seat.
Peter remains seated and asks Jane to have a seat.
Peter remains seated, looks up and asks Jane what she wants.
The first is demonstrating his masculine superiority, as he knows Jane is weaker and cannot return a firm handshake.
The second is demonstrating his higher status as a male and makes Jane feel uncomfortable.
The third is dismissal of Jane as a person and by staying behind his desk he disrespects her.
The fourth is the worst as it encompasses all of the above, making Jane both uncomfortable and subservient.
The correct answer is none of the above.
This isn't word for word, but the context is the same.
We were instructed
Not to make first move with clients when female. If she offers her hand then shake it lightly.
Not to comment on clothing or quality of work other than as a direct conclusion to the examination of the content.
Not to make eye contact for longer than a few seconds.
Not to discuss any subject other than work.
Keep a respectful distance
If unknown or not stated as to the correct title, Mz must be used until advise otherwise.
Note, no list of how to approach male clients was provided.
This is equality in action.
