He or she does not want to risk his or her health, he or she does not want to get a bad grade or lose a job or get a bad name…”In essence, Cumberbatch related that writers have described sexual harassment in various ways. It has been explained by one writer as an expression of anger, or aggression towards an individual; any unwanted remarks,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, behaviour or touch that has sexual contents or it is simply a form of power of one person over another which can result in harmful consequences to the victim.“A person might call it all sorts of things but once you are uncomfortable with it, it is sexual harassment…”And sexual harassment, she said, can occur in almost any environment and could have many disguises.

This was evident by the painting of murals with the theme ‘Stamp out violence against women’, one of which currently hangs in the waiting area of the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation.In 2007, ROC extended its concern with a new project called Fear, Force and Resistance, an 18-minute documentary in DVD form, produced to tackle sexual violence in teen relationships. It was in fact created with the help of a group of fourth form students from the Brickdam Secondary School and was accompanied by a leaflet. The DVD was used in high schools countrywide to raise awareness among students and to help combat the problem of sexual violence, Henry related.Another project ‘Everyday Ordeals’, she said, addresses sexual harassment in Guyana and came into being in 2009. It was designed in the form of a kit which includes a booklet of lesson plans and a visual DVD teaching aid.“Though we are currently using the kit in schools, ROC believes the issue of sexual harassment is wider and affects young girls in their everyday life: in buses, on the streets, in their homes, etc…”As an additional piece of material to Everyday Ordeals,Discount NFL Jerseys, Henry said that a decision was made to create the billboard. It is anticipated that the messages of the Billboard will penetrate those that view it and eventually help to effect change which will reverse the current trend of sexual harassment in the society.The messages depicted on the billboard are the handiwork of students from various institutions including Queen’s College, President’s College, School of the Nations, Central High, St Joseph’s High, Dolphin Secondary, Christ Church and a few from the University of Guyana, and speaks to the importance of reporting matters of sexual harassment.According to ROC’s Coordinator,Cheap Soccer Jerseys Authentic, Teshanna Cox, the project saw the students sitting together and sketching different “paper version” ideas during the initial stages. The ideas were subsequently put together in a single design. The design was then painted onto four separate smooth zinc-sheets by the group which amounted to about 14 students. It was subsequently clear coated with varnish to protect it from the weather and it was just about a week ago that GT&T came onboard, offering its assistance to not only provide the material for the erection of the billboard, but also the land space.GT&T’s Renatha Exeter who graced the unveiling ceremony yesterday said that the company recognises the importance of ROC and its message, adding that without the youth of today Guyana’s future would be non-existent.
