During an interview, she emphasised that in such compromises women are not only being taken advantage of or exploited but, also undermines their dignity and self-respect.
“It’s just that some men think that is how they can exhibit power…If you are a young girl and you are caught up in that situation, I’ll say to you, do not have sex with a man,” she said.
“One girl told me if ‘I have sex with a man it’s not written on my forehead, nobody will know’. Yes, but it is your dignity. If you want to have sex with a man, have sex with a man but not because there is an opportunity at stake, that is your self-esteem gone,” she added.
Although she has never had any man give her such an ultimatum in the workplace, she strongly believes that it is in the interest of any woman in such a situation to not risk it.
Additionally, she noted that the blame cannot be placed at the feet of the young women in such situations as many do.
