Workplace Harassment Is Not Part of the Job

Workplace harassment is a notorious issue in Malaysia and is often closely linked to adverse implications on mental health. According to a survey conducted in 2020 by the Women’s Aid Organisation (WAO), a majority of Malaysian women have experienced some form of sexual harassment at their workplace.  

Sexual harassment can be a traumatic experience for those targeted- affecting their mental health and life in the long term. This shameful behaviour is not something to be tolerated- instead we should stand up against such acts and ensure that the perpetrators face the consequences of their actions!
