The #Metoo Movement, which has hit the world in the past six years, has recently risen in Taiwan.Hurricane began in the Central Party Department of the Democratic Progressive Party, and soon swept through all fields of society. So far, many celebrities with dignified images have been affected.
The deepest of the DPP is the most deepest.The DPP has always advocated the value of progress and held up the concept of gender equality. However, after opening the carpet, he found that his internal and sexual harassment of outsiders was serious, and the case of appealing cases was careless.The damage suffered by the person didn't care about it, and he didn't care about the evil deeds of the victim.
The DPP's sexual harassment incident exploded. The chairman Lai Qingde repeatedly apologized, claiming that dealing with such things should not be focused on the "overall situation", and all party public officials received sexual equal education courses.Leaders have also proposed the three major reform directions, including strengthening sexual education, reviewing the amendments to the appeal mechanism and sexual level regulations, and requiring the Legislative Yuan to be listed as a priority bill.However, what the public cares is not that there are many cases of sexual harassment within the party, but to deal with neglects, and it is incompatible with the "pioneer of promoting flat -promoting", showing that the DPP has said one foot and one foot to prevent sexual harassment.Essence
Regardless of public and private agencies, based on image considerations, and fear of the power of the harm, how lightly neglect the case of sexual harassment descriptions.The DPP is no exception. The sexual harassment cases within the party were suppressed. After the victim's appeal was complained, they were ignored and obstructed by superiors or supervisors. The victims must be tolerated and suffered for a long time.The first case that caused the outbreak was that the party workers of the Women's Department were sexually harassing by outsourcing directors. The victims had not been dealt with nine months after the appeal, and they could only reveal the truth on Facebook after leaving.In other cases, there are no shortage of party cadres to deal with the means of humiliation or economic stress, which makes people feel dumbfounded about its "progress".
Comprehensive treatment of these appeal cases, common problems are not respecting the subjective discomfort of victims, and they threaten them to not make trouble, otherwise the reputation of the party and their personal reputation will be damaged.In addition, there are "eating cases" to disappear sexual harassment to the appeal procedure.Even the highest official presidential palace faced sexual harassment in the face of the presidential government's assets, and even claimed that he had "no right to investigate", and his short protection and laziness could not be added.The Taipei Municipal Government should intervene in handling according to law, but the Democratic Progressive Party's party department refused to send the information to the municipal government authority, which caused the investigation to not be launched so far.Although the DPP has produced the first female head of the Republic of China, seven years after the ruling, the gender equity that best reflects the value of "progress" is also lacking and sighing.
Most of the public and private agencies have not fulfilled employer obligations
Sexual harassment affairs exist in all corners of the society in Taiwan, and it happens all the time. Among them, the most faced and curb is the workplace sexual harassment.Regardless of whether it is a public power organs or a civil institution, because there are often inconsistent relationships between the two parties, the reason why the harm dares to dares to the victim's hair or harassment of language is usually because the victim lives in the advantage and uses their command supervision to supervise supervisionThe obedience relationship brought by power makes the victims dare not resist for self -protection, and the physical and mental torture and torment will not dare to appeal, and they cannot be made up by trauma.
Employers must bear the primary responsibility for disposal to appeal to the appeal of sexual harassment cases, but the vast majority of public and private agencies have not fulfilled their obligations to the employer by the Office of Equality Law.In the incident or after the incident, it will be protected and compensated in real time.This is the responsibility given by the law. It cannot escape or be neglected, but even the DPP that ruling governed is against it, let alone ordinary people.
Due to the deacon of general public and private institutions, gender sensitivity is generally insufficient, so it is believed that sexual harassment is a trivial matter, or that the victim is also responsible, suspects that their costumes are improper or their behavior is not inspected.The victim "Why not jump the car when you encounter something?" The victims are so blamed, and the victims have encouraged the occurrence of sexual harassment.
On the other hand, most agencies have insufficient value concepts for the establishment of a friendly workplace environment.See the proposal as a troublemaker, choose to sacrifice the rights and interests of the victims, and ask them to be wronged.
The performance of gender discrimination
Sexual harassment in the workplace is mostly a manifestation of gender discrimination regardless of men and women and qualifications, and it is not limited to the infringement of the body. Speaking and non -speech sexual harassment is not uncommon in the workplace, including: malicious hints, yellow jokes, gender, gender, genderDiscrimination, comment on the appearance with a colored eye, make obscenity posture and movements, and other indecent moves and words with gender hints.Another kind of sexual harassment, called "consideration", simply speaking, is the meaning of exchange conditions, such as exchanging sexual exchange or salary increase.These are all unacceptable evil lines.
To avoid sexual harassment in the workplace, in addition to relying on the employer to provide a friendly working environment, the most important thing is to be self -reliance and solemn, and sexual harassment for any form must be correct.Choose silently to bear, and to bravely resist and deal with it, to reduce the risk of suffering from injustice.
The reason whysexual harassment cases are endlessly, first of all, it is difficult to proof, because sexual harassment usually occurs in private space and caught off guard, so it is difficult to proof.Secondly, it is difficult to make the working environment better. If the victims have courage to reveal it, they usually enter an embarrassing and difficult process. They may be humiliated and may be suspected of being attentive and even caught in a slanderous lawsuit.The most common encounter is to be treated by the institution cold, either the case or the interest.
Due to secondary injuries, many victims chose to forbearance, but they could not be calmed down because they had no door.Therefore, only by the victims who have been sexually harassed or sexually assaulted, can the victims be punished, can they constitute social pressure, be vigilant for potential victims, and have a biological effect on prevention and disposal methods.The #METOO movement that has emerged in recent years has caused major changes in the political circles of many countries, and has also set up a Great Wall to reduce the sexual harassment rack.
"We don't want to do this." Recently, the lines of the TV drama candidates in Taiwan -the lines of the waves are not only used to inspire the real world, the "wounders" reveal the scandal, but also criticize the case.The disposal attitude of sexual harassment is negative, or under the mentality of the "overall situation" mentality, suppress the feelings and encounters of the victim.Sexual harassment victims are often in an unspeakable predicament in the face of the palliative of the system. Therefore, institutions must face the overall situation of removing sexual harassment and actively deal with appealing cases, which is a responsible practice.
