Sexual harassment at the workplace

When Alexandria, a data entry clerk with four years under her belt approached her immediate boss to inquire about her chances regarding a recent internal advert in her organization, he reassured her and promised to put in a good word for her with the line manager of that department. She strolled out of his office humming her favourite tune-- God will always make a way.
Later that evening, Alexandria's cell phone purrs the low, gentle melody she had set as her ringtone and on checking who the caller was, she saw it was Bicks her boss.
"Hello, boss," she answered excitedly expecting good news about the position they had discussed earlier that day.
"Alex my dear. How are you" he said.
"Am cool, is this about our earlier talk? she asked.
"Yes, as a matter of fact the job is yours for the taking but....." he hesitated. "Is there a problem, boss?" Alexandria asked.
"Oh no, no Alex all I wanted to ask is that we go out together tonight," Bicks said.
" Oh sorry, Bicks, I'd love to but I can't. I've got Charles my boyfriend to pick from the airport tonight."
"Maybe tomorrow then?" he asks tightly.
"Am sorry boss, but that won't be possible," she answered without any further explanation.
After a short period of silence he said, "Hey, do still remember that opportunity we talked about? It might just go to someone else who is more cooperative," and he hung up on her.

With the sickening statistics of unemployment in Uganda today, many of our young people-- both male and female-- have to put up with this kind of thing and are either very afraid or outright ashamed of speaking out.
