We’ve Made Progress, But…
We launched this site almost 10 months ago. During that time we’ve received personal e-mails from women seeking help with their questions, concerns and fears about sexual harassment. Some had real problems in their work environment involving their direct supervisors. We also received e-mails from a few teenagers who were frightened by older men who were sexually abusing and/or stalking them on the internet. Many women are fearful of putting their information publicly on a website so I respect and appreciate their use of confidential e-mails.
The last several months have been eye-opening for me personally as I’ve listened to people and tried to provide answers, do research, and be a resource for those in needs. Although I had hoped for more of a public dialogue, I respect everyone’s individual right to privacy and am committed to helping those in need in whatever format is most comfortable.
As we slowly approach my one year anniversary of this site, I will commit to offering more information, resources, and more personal opinion about the nature and state of sexual harassment in today’s workplace. I will be writing a weekly article beginning this week — please check back in.
