Awareness Seminar on Addressing Misconceptions About Harassment

Myth Unlocked: “When victims speak up against harassment, they are often accused of ‘playing the woman card’ or ‘seeking attention.'"

This harmful narrative silences survivors and shifts blame away from perpetrators. Sexual harassment is real, and no one should be shamed for raising their voice.

At a seminar hosted at PITHM, Federal Ombudsperson Ms. Fauzia Viqar and Regional Head Ms. Sabika Shah addressed this misconception while discussing various forms of workplace harassment and the remedies available.

Challenging damaging myths and encouraging open dialogue are vital to building safer, more equitable workplaces
