  Sexual Harassment 



Dear Readers,

As a follow up to last weeks article, we thought this editorial would  be a good  follow up to our feminism article.  Please note this is taken from The Nassau Guardian, August 8th, 2018 Religion: Let's Talk About It Section: Sexual Harassment by Barrington Brennen

Sexual harassment is defined as "unsolicited physical contact and advances toward someone; a demand or request for sexual favors; sexually-colored remarks with colleagues on the job; showing pornography; and any other unwelcome physical, verbal or non-verbal conduct of a sexual nature". Read more

"Even the so called Bahamian conchyjoe deal with the same things as black Bahamian. This is not about color but about being able to live in this world.
