In this post I mentioned briefly the incident about the male member of staff who made an inappropriate comment and I am glad to say that both the National Council on Ageing and the Ministry of Human Development have taken it very seriously.
On Monday I sent a memo to my placement leader and to the other guy’s boss. My placement leader wrote a supporting letter to the Ministry and later on that afternoon I had a meeting with the Ministry’s Chief Executive Officer.
Today the Ministry sent a copy of a letter that was sent to the man who made the comment and based on discussions they had with him (he has not denied the comment but he has denied the fact that it counts as sexual harassement) they have asked him to send me a written apology and have treated the letter to him as a caution and if the incident were to happen again he shall be reprimanded.
I await his apology…in the meantime I shall leave you with the comment he made to me…
” You have very nice boobs”

I am very glad you have reported this issue. This happens to so many women who sadly do not have the courage to make issue about such a distressing situation. How dare he? What gives him the right to make such comments?

Oh darling, l can imagine how frustrating that was, but not to take away the issue from you someone described mine as weapons of mass destruction and this was in a social setting and he tried to make it out as if he was paying me the highest of compliments. Man why do they think that our parts of the bodies are for their appraisal, review and comment. I ma sure your idiot feels that he is entitled to say things about your body and not see that as sexual harrassment. I am glad you have dissuaded him from that anf that you have been supported.
Love Wahu

*shakes head*
I continue to be amazed at what the male mind can catapult to their mouths.
Kui Says: Those men who make such remarks are not catapulting them from their minds.
