Sexual HarrassmentEssay Preview: Sexual HarrassmentReport this essayIntercultural Sexual Harassment in the WorkplaceUniversity of PhoenixAbstractSexual harassment is a form of sex discrimination that violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Adler, 2007). Title VII applies to employers with 15 or more employees, including state and local governments. It also applies to employment agencies and to labor organizations, as well as to a federal government. This paper will discuss how one may be a victim of sexual harassment due to cultural values and the solution in the workplace.
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when this conduct explicitly or implicitly affects an individual’s employment, unreasonably interferes with an individual’s work performance, or creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive work environment. Some victims may be approached because of their cultural background. Many cultures are taught to be submissive to all men or whatever the case may be. Some victims are also intimidated by their supervisor whom may be of different ethnicity and/or cultural background thus creating a somewhat inferior environment for the victim. These values may be taken advantage of and is by any means and example of the cultural norm in the workplace.
The Violence and Harassment Code
A group of university members and some campus faculty have drafted a Violence and Harassment Code that would establish a clear and uniform definition of what constitutes physical and sexual harassment by all the participating members and staff, as well as their roles in the environment where harassment occurs. This code was drafted by a group of 12 members of the International Committee for Human Rights and is still active today.
The main goal of this code is to ensure the correct implementation of basic and procedural protections for female and male employees of university departments, institutions and universities. These are fundamental to protecting women from harassment, and the code also addresses basic equality and respect for individual rights under law and the law of society. It is crucial that employees of the University be at least as treated as female/male citizens.
The Domestic Violence Policy Institute
The Domestic Violence Policy Institute (DHPRI) encourages all involved parties to be a part of the fight for comprehensive equality, equal respect for women, and equality for the rights of all citizens for the protection of the human, civil and civil rights of all others. DHPRI members assist other non-governmental organizations for the legal, administrative and public benefit of the rights of both sexes (for example, the American Civil Liberties Union with its Equal Pay Act), and offer their advice on how best to prevent and respond to domestic violence complaints.
Our mission and policy is to protect women of all ages; that is, those ages 18-29 ages; older; and all persons under the age of 45 years. DHPRI is an integrated, not only an individual organization, but also an inter-government organization. We do support and encourage gender equality and support the right of all persons to enjoy healthy gender expression, including sexual and gender nonconforming ones; all non-conforming women and men are expected to enjoy safe social and physical spaces and to engage in healthy, productive discussions about their own or their peers’ sexual, gender and sexual identities. We encourage and support a culture of positive sexuality and gender equality, including sexual and gender nonconforming people with legitimate sex preferences and identities (including bisexual persons, transgender people, and transgender individuals. It is also important that people of all ages express their ideas, opinions and experience without fear of discrimination, harassment or fear of legal action. Furthermore, we strongly encourage people of all ages to advocate for and participate in free and open discussion about issues of sexual and gender nonconforming interests and behavior, such as transgender persons, and sexual and gender nonconforming people who seek safe and legal accommodations in the workplace. Although we do support, and encourage, efforts to educate and prevent discrimination, harassment or discrimination in all aspects of workplace sex and gender discrimination, we do remain fully committed to the idea that employers and employees are entitled to equal or equitable treatment and representation under all conditions.
Homeschooling
Homeschooling is used to raise children in homeschooling communities to enable and engage their growth in their culture. The number of homeschoolers decreased significantly from 1990 to 2010, in part due to more homeschooling in the U.S.;
