Sexual Harassment Claim in Nigeria's Senate, When, When Will It End?

 Allegations of  Sexual harassment by a female Senator in Nigeria against the Senate President which he has already denied,  has really generated a lot of reactions due to wide publicity. Sexual harassment claim is a very sensitive issue which pose a lot of risk to everyone. It throws up a lot of things especially in Politics and  notoriously difficult to prove. A harassment claim can also be a weapon and anybody can use the weapon and lots of people use it. I think the most important thing is to get it resolved quietly and quickly now that the awareness is raised. Mediation or Pressing Charges whichever option that brings fairness and justice and prevent political problems. No doubt , the Senate is not a birth-right, neither is it a place where people are free to act without restraint. What matters is to do the right thing by following the right process of peaceful resolution rather than aggressive ambitions. No one is flawless. Change behaviour is for everyone. "Power is neither male nor female''-Kathrine Graham. Follow this blog regularly as we intend to help people to see the perspective from both sides of this problem and gain more understanding rather than being stuck in a particular perspective. There is urgent need for awareness and education to help people embrace change behaviour programmes and best practices to make the workplace and society a better place. Heating the polity and creating more divisions is not the solution to the persistent challenges of harassment. A lot is at stake here. The LEAD Project Foundation seeks to help build awareness of the need for change and balanced media reporting of harassment scandal . Uche Okeke is the Founder of The LEAD Project Foundation.
