For the first time in history, there are more people living in cities than rural areas.
As a result, girls in cities contend with increased risks and opportunities. On one hand, girls face sexual harassment, exploitation, and insecurity. On the other, they are more likely to be educated, politically active and less likely to be married early.
Harassment covers behavior ranging from restrained pressure to forceful tactics in any form of verbal, written or physical conduct that belittles or demonstrates aggression or loathing towards a person on the basis of race, sex, color, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, age, status, political affiliation and/or disability.

Sexual Harassment and Retaliation in the Workplace in the Wake of #metoo and ...Case IQ
Allegations of sexual impropriety have been bubbling up in Hollywood, the media, sports and politics over the past months, exposing a deep-rooted and pervasive culture of harassment and discrimination in workplaces all over North America. Both women and men are becoming more empowered to speak up, fueled by the #metoo and #TimesUp movements and the attention the issue of sexual harassment and abuse of power is getting.
But coming forward has its risks. Victims still lose their jobs at much higher rates than do their abusers: 89% compared to 18%, according to a study by the Workplace Bullying Institute.
It’s critical for employers and managers to understand the importance of responding appropriately to complaints of sexual harassment and abuse of power and avoidance of retaliation.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

behavior.
The policy may be a stand-alone policy or form part of an
existing health and safety policy, or code of conduct for all
workers.
Typically, a workplace harassment policy should be readily available
within the workplace, for example from the human resources or
administration areas
9. The workplace harassment prevention policy

The system should provide procedures for managing both
informal and formal complaints.
For informal complaints this might be encouraging complaints
to be raised with the appropriate contact person in the
workplace, identified in the workplace harassment prevention
policy.
Interpersonal conflicts are often effectively resolved through
open discussion between the parties. This should be
encouraged as the first step in every complaint, unless

performance is monitored and managed, enabling issues to be identified
and resolved.

Training and educating workers on issues of workplace harassment can help prevent or
control exposure to workplace harassment as:
