Why? Her organization, Pakistan’s Alliance Against Sexual Harrassment [AASHA], lists SmithKline Beecham, Pakistan, as a “progressive employer” in the context of its policies dealing with employees’ sexual harassment. The company fired me for filing and standing by my complaint of sexual harassment against my supervisor. When I saw the company’s name in the list, I informed AASHA about it but the organization did not respond with an explanation or with the removal of the company’s name from its list. Perhaps the NGO’s name should be Alliance “For” Sexual Harassment as it is on the side of Big Business, not the victims. --Asma Siddiqi Dr Fouzia Saeed cannot raise awareness about sexual harassment.
