| Abstract: | Sexual harassment is considered as one of the most prevalent forms of workplace sexual violence or victimization in modern organizations despite the increasing enactment of legislative acts aimed at reducing the problem. No organization can claim to be free from sexual harassment. Many people in the workplace face many difficulties associated with sexual harassment which negatively affects employees of both genders but prominently female workers. The purpose of this study was to state the factors that trigger sexual harassment of female police officers in the Malawi Police Service: An Empirical study of Blantyre Police Station. The study was guided by the following research objectives: Examine the female officers knowledge about sexual harassment in the workplace and probe how prevalent are trainings of sexual harassment conducted in the Malawi Police Service, explore the various form of sexual harassment that are commonly committed in the workplace, state the factors that trigger sexual harassment behavior’s among male and female police officers in their duty stations, and assess the interventions undertaken to address sexual harassment and scrutinize the key policy documents of sexual harassment in Malawi Police Service. This interpretive study employed a case study approach, utilized qualitative methods that included interviews, station observations and quantitative method that used a questionnaire to gather information. The study was conducted at Blantyre Police station and its Police Sub-stations and Police Units which are under the command of South West Region Police Headquarters in the Southern Region of Malawi. Purposive sampling technique was used to select the participants who were trained police officers. Data was analyzed using thematic content analysis and a structured questionnaire designed for the purpose of the study to collect quantitative data through a face to face interview with the officers in their respective police stations. The following were the key findings, police officers have limited knowledge on the concept of sexual harassment through the trainings organized by the Centre for Human Rights Education Advice and Assistance (CHREAA) and Women Lawyers Association (WLA) and other non-governmental organizations that deals with Gender based violence against women and girls and child Protection cases with the community policing officers. The police officers faced challenges such as poor understanding of the idea of workplace harassment due to lack of trainings and because of the few resource for addressing the matter. The study recommends that, Malawi Police Service should come up with trainings on sexual harassment at least twice a year which can be conducted as in-service training to help officers acquire adequate knowledge and skills for dealing with sexual harassment cases. Also the Malawi Police Service should give an opportunity to the officers to have access to sexual harassment policies as a way of equipping and preparing them to deal with sexual harassment cases effectively. |
