Sexual harrassment
March 4, 2010
Testosterone driven socccer fans that will visit our country is the largest group of lots of single travelling male tourists with a passion for adrenaline. It is the largest group of tourists that has one single simular interests that has ever visited our country and the largest in the world. The OLYMPIC GAMES HAVE SEVERAL EVENTS THAT ARE DIFFFERENT so have different spectator profiles. Anyone that studied these groups of male driven sports supporters during such events will know that security will be particularly problematic. Im not talking about crime that make the the media now as the majority of the events will not be reported or even investigated by the Police and that is the problem we will be faced with in the country. Denial of levels of crime will be weapon no. one. The guest houses, lodges and hotels female staff needs to be educated in advance in how to treat or handle difficulties regarding harrassment. It is my educated knowlege that Hotels that have teams booked in or expect large sums of money will not be too supportive when the room maid complains about sexual harrassment of a guest. Let alone a senior or important guest. Sexual harrassment policies need to be in place (legal requirement) as well as training female staff in tactical communication or non verbal judo etc.
Safework procedures need to be drafted if not in place to safeguard employees. Sexual harrassment procedures are mostly excluded from the Safety plans at this stage. A entity's security plan or sophistication levels could thus as far as I m concerned, be measured at this stage I would say by this very aspect. Every one worries about the crime on the tourist but it's going to be other way around with this specific incident type and some others.
