Civil society organizations on Monday called on management at Durban’s China Mall to pay for psycho-social support for female staffers who’ve reported s.e.xual assault crimes in the workplace.
It’s alleged female staff members and jobseekers have been s.e.xually exploited for years.
The mall manager said two implicated male employees had resigned.
This woman – who asked not to be named for fear of victimization – said s.e.xual abuse in the workplace led her to consume illegal substances.
“I even took drugs because this thing and just to make myself feel better. I was like a mad woman, everyone at work was laughing at me.”
Jennifer Fisher from Men and Women of Valor said mall management must develop and make available a s.e.xual harassment policy to all staff members.
“They can’t say s.e.xual harassment, s.e.xual abuse or rape are okay, they’re not, because they mess up a person for the rest of their life.”
Mall manager George Mystris accepted a memorandum of demands from a group of civil society organizations on Monday.
He’s promised to look into all issues raised and respond within seven days.
