Female-focused social enterprise, which encourages women to take on more decision making positions and venture into leadership opportunities, HEIR Women Development has shared the findings from her self investigative research focused on workplace sexual harassment women suffer at a validation meeting held in Abuja.

Ola-Olaniyi said one of their major goals is to strengthen young women’s understanding and increase knowledge and awareness against sexual harassment through adequate information and knowledge, stakeholders involvement in prioritising trauma experiences and seeking to eliminate triggers as well as ramp up media action in demanding accountability from organisations without relevant workplace policy that protects young women.

From the interview, 54 per cent of women identified sexual harassment and stereotypes against women as their leading insecurities with 3 in 4 women experiencing verbal sexual harassment in the form of obscene jokes about sex, unwanted phone calls/messages, unwanted invitations of a sexual nature, unwanted physical contact and worse, rape.
