The topic was “Sexual Harassment & Consent”.
The recent happenings made it more feminine. Hence the female lot majored the show. But there were a few men who considered it as Unisex. Hats off to you MEN.
Now, what’s sexual harassment? To give more clarity, we were given an activity.
Need to close our eyes & think of the happiest moment (sexual in nature) in one’s life. Now find a buddy seated next to you & share that experience. I had a glance at my peers & could see serious discussions with a psychotic smile on their faces. My buddy was my good friend Ms. Sreelekha of Amphenol FCI. We were chatting instead. Now you need to share how you felt while sharing that beautiful experience.
Then on one corner, a male participant complained, “I discussed everything with him but he never shared anything with me.” Hearing that all had face aches.
We got the real feel when they mentioned, “if you find it difficult in sharing your beautiful sexual experiences, how hard it will be to share your sexual experiences that haunt you.”
Even though this is a familiar term, we could feel the pain then on. Monolita & Saj gave an amazing start continued by Shyama explaining the legal side of it.
To cut the story short….major focus was given to sexual harassment at the workplace & the importance of having POSH policies, legislation & redress process pertaining to POSH. It was a really good learning experience. Moreover, simple acts we need to follow were given due attention in the session.
Packed with activities, sharing, fun & awareness, it was a 100% interactive session for which the speakers had to borrow some more time from the organizers to solve the participants’ queries.
Great job, ROV & thanks much to NASSCOM & NIPM Infopark group for the wonderful show.
