Directions (6 – 10): Read the following passage carefully and answer the
questions given below it. Certain word has been printed in bold to help you
locate them while answering some questions.
Policymakers frequently lament the
dismal number of women students in science, technology, engineering and
mathematics fields. Girls formed only 8% of the total students enrolled in the
Indian Institutes of Technology in 2016. But Indian girls consistently
outperform their male peers in the higher secondary examination. Perhaps it’s
time to consider safety along with social and economic variables to explain the
skewed gender ratio. There is also a long-term cost on a woman’s well-being.
Successive studies have documented the mental health impacts of being a victim,
from depression to loss in confidence. More importantly, scientists have found
evidence that harassment early in the career has long-term effects on
depressive symptoms. And it’s not just the employee that suffers. In the US,
employers paid about $125 million in the past two years to settle claims
through the equal employment opportunity commission. One of the major cases
that was settled in court included damages of $167million to a single complainant.
Data on Indian companies is also starting to emerge. The figures don’t include
the loss of productivity and morale that such behaviour imposes on the company.
Not surprisingly, women, not men, are
the solution for alleviating the epidemic of sexual harassment. The increasing
number of women in leadership positions has a direct effect in preventing
harassment. In male-dominated industries such as mining or construction, far
more women report sexual harassment than in other fields. In comparison, female-dominated
and gender-balanced fields, such as education, harbour less tolerance of
hostile behaviour. This correlation is more pronounced with other
underrepresented groups. Male-dominated management teams are more likely to
tolerate, sanction or even expect, aggressive behaviour from peers. This leads
to what we often call the ‘bro-culture’—a culture of complicity where
complaints are not taken seriously. Companies with a diverse leadership are
more sensitive to such complaints.
