Sexual harassment is really an issue in today's society and generates. As you can observe, in today's generation, not only the woman is suffering from harassment but also men. It is just that men are not that priority once they being harassed. Somebody must take a stand and be the role model in order to change this kind of mentality, we should stop stereotyping and also harassments. It really affects the work and the development of a person. It is not right in the organization to have that kind of mentality in where there must be a "love" or "sex" thing in order to have promotions.
