Sexual harassmnt cases should be given a priority and settled at the earliest.
Sadly, dealing with sexual harassment cases is a very difficult affair for the employer and the affected employee. often, the harasser is someone placed above the victim in hierarchy making the position of the victim vulnerable in the organization. notwithstanding most governments have brought in strict laws barring sexual discrimination and harassment at the workplace.
However, a case of sexual harassment does not happen spontaneously. there is always a background. the harasser slowly makes advances which the victim fails to recognize and is not guarded against. it may start by providing undue favours to the victim by the harasser. as we often say 'prevention is better than cure', i strongly feel employees must take their profession seriously and never ever undue favours should be received. people must have the prudence to understand that nothing comes for 'free'. if your boss or a collegue suddenly starts showering favours on you, be alert, start taking precautions. it is always better to politely refuse undue favours whenever offerred. be professional and be assertive.
Most of the organizations have POSH - Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace. I thing one should approach POSH - an independent body that takes care of these issues, when encountered with sexual harassment at work.
