How to Deal with Indecent Jokes and Unwelcome Advances at the Workplace?

Federal Ombudsperson Ms. Fauzia Viqar advises giving an immediate, firm "shut-up call" to anyone who cracks indecent or inappropriate jokes. Report the incident to your seniors and your organization's inquiry committee.

It is then the obligation of the senior/committee to summon the individual and issue a warning: any repeatition of such behavior will result in an official complaint being filed.

Do not dismiss any incident of harassment as minor or unimportant; reportable conduct is not limited to r**e or sexual assault. Stay vigilant, and report to your inquiry committee, and to FOSPAH if your grievance is not addressed.
