Episode 65, S2, Understanding Risk Factors, Causes & Prevention of Harassment, Podcast Gulabi Sambad

Understanding the risk factors, causes, and prevention of harassment is vital for creating safe environments. Harassment, including sexual harassment, discrimination, bullying, or cyberbullying, often arises due to power imbalances and cultural norms. Prevention involves implementing clear policies, and training programs, and fostering a culture of respect and accountability. Educating individuals about boundaries, consent, and respectful communication is crucial. It's essential to have zero-tolerance policies, clear reporting mechanisms, and swift responses to incidents to ensure harassment-free spaces. Regular evaluation and adaptation of prevention strategies are necessary for effectiveness. In this episode of Gulabi Sambad, we spoke with Nirajan Khadka, Technical Advisor - SRHR at Plan International Nepal, about harassment and sexual assaults. Khadka highlighted the risks faced by survivors and society due to these issues, and he discussed the root causes of sexual harassment along with preventive measures to tackle it. #harassment #sexualassaults #sexualabuse #SRHR #podcast #spotify #gulabisambad
