This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, research, activity, and funding has been devoted to improving the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine. In recent years the diversity of those participating in these fields, particularly the participation of women, has improved and there are significantly more women entering careers and studying science, engineering, and medicine than ever before. However, as women increasingly enter these fields they face biases and barriers and it is not surprising that sexual harassment is one of these barriers. Over thirty years the incidence of sexual harassment in different industries has held steady, yet now more women are in the workforce and in academia, and in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine (as students and faculty) and so more women are experiencing sexual harassment as they work and learn. Over the last several years, revelations of the sexual harassment experienced by women in the workplace and in academic settings have raised urgent questions about the specific impact of this discriminatory behavior on women and the extent to which it is limiting their careers. Sexual Harassment of Women explores the influence of sexual harassment in academia on the career advancement of women in the scientific, technical, and medical workforce. This report reviews the research on the extent to which women in the fields of science, engineering, and medicine are victimized by sexual harassment and examines the existing information on the extent to which sexual harassment in academia negatively impacts the recruitment, retention, and advancement of women pursuing scientific, engineering, technical, and medical careers. It also identifies and analyzes the policies, strategies and practices that have been the most successful in preventing and addressing sexual harassment in these settings.

Download or read book A Step By Step Guide for Victims of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace written by Kim Irwin and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-12 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This manual is a step-by-step guide for victims of sexual harassment in the workplace in Ireland. It contains all necessary and relevant information for employees to ensure that their right not to be sexually harassed in the workplace is vindicated by their employer, and for employers to ensure that they are satisfying their legal obligation to protect all employees from sexual harassment by ensuring that the workplace is a safe environment. Every employer in Ireland is responsible for any sexual harassment that an employee is subjected to. Thus, every employer is obliged by law to have policies, procedures and training in place which are expressly dedicated to protecting employees from sexual harassment in three fundamental ways. Firstly and most importantly, they must be committed to preventing sexual harassment from occurring in the first place. Secondly, employers must act to reverse the effect(s) of sexual harassment on the victim. Lastly, they must act to prevent the sexual harassment from reoccurring. If an employer fails in any of these obligations and a complaint of sexual harassment is not dealt with properly or taken seriously, a complaint can be made to a public body named the Workplace Relations Commission (WRC), which will deal with the complaint independently of the company or organization. The WRC was established in 2015 to promote, improve and maintain positive workplace relations. The WRC also ensures and encourages compliance with industrial relation laws in Ireland. When a claim is made to the WRC about an employer's response to a complaint of sexual harassment, the objective is to resolve the inadequacy of an employer's action or inaction. This is a civil procedure which is free of charge and is totally independent of the criminal justice system. The guide contains information about victimization, which is also illegal in Ireland. Victimization in this context is when an employee is treated negatively due to the fact that they have made a complaint in work. If an employee is victimized because they made a complaint of sexual harassment to their employer, they may be entitled to compensation. Compensation can be granted by the WRC for both victimization and for an employer's insufficient response/ failure to satisfy their legal obligations in relation to a complaint of sexual harassment. The guide is divided into three parts, the first part containing essential information about what your rights are and how your employer is expected to treat you under the law. The second part will guide you through both informal and formal methods of complaining and goes through, in detail, how each complaint procedure works. The last part is an appendix of sources for advice and emotional support. This guide contains succinct and detailed information which is based on thorough research of Irish law.
Download or read book Sexual Harassment of Working Women written by Catharine A. MacKinnon and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1979-01-01 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive legal theory is needed to prevent the persistence of sexual harassment. Although requiring sexual favors as a quid pro quo for job retention or advancement clearly is unjust, the task of translating that obvious statement into legal theory is difficult. To do so, one must define sexual harassment and decide what the law's role in addressing harassment claims should be. In Sexual Harassment of Working Women,' Catharine Mac-Kinnon attempts all of this and more. In making a strong case that sexual harassment is sex discrimination and that a legal remedy should be available for it, the book proposes a new standard for evaluating all practices claimed to be discriminatory on the basis of sex. Although MacKinnon's "inequality" theory is flawed and its implications are not considered sufficiently, her formulation of it makes the book a significant contribution to the literature of sex discrimination. MacKinnon calls upon the law to eliminate not only sex dis- crimination but also most instances of sexism from society. She uses traditional theories in an admittedly strident manner, and relies upon both traditional and radical-feminist sources. The results of her effort are mixed. The book is at times fresh and challenging, at times needlessly provocative. -- https://www.jstor.org (Sep. 30, 2016).
