ISLAMABAD - Pakistani radio broadcaster and TV host Tehreem Muneeba has resigned from a private radio channel after she was allegedly subjected to a Sexual harassment.
RJ Tehreem resigned after she was allegedly harassed in a recording studio two weeks ago. “Couldn’t be a part of an organisation anymore where women aren’t respected and everyone is protecting the culprits,” she said in a tweet while announcing her resignation.
She further claimed that the management, soon after she brought the incident to its notice, rather than taking action, had deleted the CCTV footage, which was the only evidence. “They’re delaying justice because they’re sure it’ll be denied. It has been more than two weeks, and even the inquiry has not been completed yet,” she said.
“I refresh my email inbox every day hoping that they would have sent me an inquiry report and told me that the culprits had at least been suspended. But no! They have no respect for the issue at hand,” she said in a subsequent tweet.
Tehreem said it didn’t have to be a rural setting to be harassed. “In modern-day, one suffers and still feels embarrassed because of complaints even in organisations such as big media house.”
“If I am suffering from this while being a TV face and having a radio presence, just imagine what other girls have to face on a daily basis. They are not even able to raise their voice on such platforms. How can others be provided justice when even my complaint is not being addressed?” Tehreem said, while also criticising the practice of “blaming the victim”.
