Story 122

As a man my head hangs in shame when I read about these experiences of so many women across organisations, levels and geographies. What is it with us men that is forcing such behaviour? Do we achieve a sense of accomplishment by harassing the other gender or we have lost the sense of right and wrong?
This calls for deep introspection and course correction on our part. Both organisations and family set ups have an important role to play. If teach our kids from an early age to respect women at home a lot will be achieved. Organisations need to practice meritocracy and ‘old boys clubs’ need to be eliminated totally. Hopefully we can make the society a better place for both genders to coexist respectfully.

My time in the Citigroup London in operations years ago now…
