    "content": "in the House for hours and then, eventually, the matter dies a natural death, without anyone being brought to book or punished for their deeds. This translates to violence against women. Sexual harassment is violence against women. Those women go through depression. Most of these things are done by their seniors. In the case of Kericho tea estates, the senior management was the one forcing junior staff into those acts. The junior staff cannot speak out. Since they are trying to fend for their families, most of them will get into those acts and go into depression. They cannot speak about it. Some of them are married women. When they go back home, they do not want to speak about what has happened to them. They become very depressed. Some of them get infected with HIV and AIDS and others die. Those things eat into them and others watch them dying. Nobody speaks about them. It is time we spoke about those acts. Women should not be ashamed of speaking about those things, because they happen everywhere. When they happen, people just criminalise women by asking them how they were dressed. My dress is my choice.The way I dress should not be the way that I am judged on how I am treated sexually. Men should know that these women are not supposed to dress in a certain way, because what you believe in is not what I believe in. We are all brought up and dressed differently. One is supposed to treat a woman with dignity and respect reg ardless of how they dress or what they are doing. It is something that we need to put a stop to. Women are not judged by society on what they wear and how they walk or talk."
