I have to say that, after listening to you and following your experience, I'm shocked. When will someone wake up and realize that the organization has suffered a tremendous blow by losing an employee with such a strong sense of justice?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the sense that the harassment problem in that environment is similar to the kinds of things that happen in all other workplaces. People try to be friendly at first, paying compliments and such, and the behaviour escalates until there is no respect at all. You are objectified and victimized.
I don't think that can change from the inside. Those in charge, especially in the government, have to take over the process in order to bring about a genuine and significant change in culture. Those people have to realize that all the actions you and hundreds of your colleagues have been subjected to do not constitute jokes or funny remarks, but devastating incidents. It's devastating not just for the victims like yourself and your colleagues, but also for the entire country, because everything would run much more efficiently if the workplaces were more harmonious.
What do you think?
