Message: [QUOTE="Nehanda, post: 28248, member: 2262"] Labor laws ban sexual harassment in Zimbabwe and many places. Yet people keep doing it. Both men and women act this way at any age. Women suffer from it most, mainly young women at new jobs. Anyone might face this problem. Your age, status, school level, money, or job offers no shield. The Labour Act serves as the main job rule book in Zimbabwe. It labels unwanted sex acts as wrong in any workplace. The law means touching, sex talk, or showing dirty images nobody wants. Many companies wrote stronger rules than the law requires. These company plans often explain sexual harassment more clearly than the government does. Bad behavior happens without words through showing private parts, rude hand signs, or sexual pictures. Words hurt when they target your body and sex life or make lewd jokes. Some bosses trade job goodies like training, travel, raises, or better jobs for sexual favors. The Labour Act fails to define sexual harassment directly. Instead, Section 8(h) describes unfair actions by employers. It bans unwanted sexual behavior toward any worker. This includes physical contact, advances, sexual remarks, or displaying adult materials at work. Companies across Zimbabwe have created policies against harassment, bullying, and meanness. These rules help workers understand what counts as sexual harassment and better protect employees by covering more bad behaviors than the law mentions. Sexual harassment hurts careers and lives in Zimbabwe workplaces. It affects people regardless of background or position. Most victims stay quiet because they fear losing their jobs. Companies must create safer spaces where workers can report problems without fear. Everyone deserves respect at work, regardless of gender. Employers must enforce their anti-harassment policies fairly. Workers need clear ways to report problems safely. Leadership must show zero tolerance for any form of sexual harassment in Zimbabwe workplaces. [/QUOTE]
