SEDUCTIVE BY FEMALE STUDENTS, OUR WOE - LECTURER CRIES
Seductive Dressing by Female Students, Our Woe - Lecturer
Collins Badu Agyemang, a lecturer at the Psychology
Department of the University of Ghana, is of the view that provocative and
seductive dressing of some female students contributes to sexual harassment and
misconduct in society.
To Dr Agyeman, “there is the issue of power play in all sectors of society and if you don’t take care, you will fall prey to the predator; so this makes the issue of sexual harassment a global menace and not a tertiary institution issue.”
Speaking at a Seminar Series organised by the University of Ghana School of Pharmacy titled ‘Sexual Harassment: A Bitter Pill to swallow?’ Dr Agyeman said hostile environments contribute to sexual misconduct and harassment.
“Dressing styles on campuses are ‘too provocative’ and lecturers suffer unfairly due to poor costume decisions by some students,” he said.
The seminar on sexual harassment follows the airing of ‘BBC’s Sex for Grades’ documentary in universities in West Africa which implicated two lecturers at the University of Ghana and two others at the University of Lagos, Nigeria.
