Abstract
This is a guide to help educate various stakeholders (employees, employers,
contractors, clients etc.) in the Ghanaian media industry about sexual
harassment in the hope of preventing it and proposing strategies for
addressing sexual harassment incidents. Both men and women can be
victims of sexual harassment but studies suggest women are more likely
than men to be harassed in the workplace (Jackson & Newman, 2004). The
media in Ghana is rich and diverse in scope with more women now than
ever before in media practice in the country.
This Guide addresses sexual harassment in the media workplace. Its goal is
to educate owners, managers, employees, contractors and clients of media
organisations in Ghana about sexual harassment and create a system for
addressing it. The specifc objectives of the Guide are to:
• sensitize media organisations and personnel on sexual harassment,
and
• Support media organisations to proactively address sexual
harassment.
