Saba had been silently facing verbal harassment from her male colleagues for months, afraid that reporting it would cost her the job. After countless sleepless nights, Saba finally gathered the courage to speak up and went to HR office. Saba: "The things they say to me... I feel humiliated every day." HR: "We have no formal complaints about harassment. Just ignore them." Saba: "But according to the Protection Against Harassment of Women at the Workplace Act, 2010, you’re supposed to have a committee to deal with these issues." HR: "We haven’t set that up yet." Saba took her case to the Ombudsman’s Office, and the company was required to establish a harassment committee and provide a safe work environment.

The Protection from Harassment Act in South Africa empowers victims of workplace harassment to seek protection orders against offenders, reinforcing the right to a safe and dignified work environment. It covers everyone from employees to clients and contractors, stressing that no one should be subjected to harassment, whether physical or psychological. Employers must not only comply with the law but also cultivate a work culture where harassment is swiftly addressed. When victims come forward, their grievances must be handled seriously and confidentially. It's about more than policies—it’s about ensuring that everyone in the workplace feels protected, respected, and valued. #WorkplaceProtection #ZeroToleranceForHarassment #RespectAndDignity
