Dear friends.
I have to bring a very important and serious issue to your attention.This is something that happened to a friend and It is cricial that all of us be aware of it.
All of us who intend to work in this male dominating society in one way or other as work collegues,as partners ,as doctors..have to keep one thing in mind=harrassment at work place.
All of us will be going for interviews,will be studying in public libraries (and I am talking about US).No place is safer than your home.There are drug addicts,child abusers,sexual maniacs in these public libraries and they are americans.They can be of any age,old and young..They will approach u as a nice friendly person,trying to know about your culture..and for us as coming from a culture where elders are respected,U may never know that you are being sexually harrassed by that person.
Whenever you find some man approaching u in an inappropriate way,plz inform the authorities.If a man no matter what his age is tries to come close where u feel uncomfortable,or tries to talk double meaning things,or tries to take any kind of personal information,PLZ DONOT ENCOURAGE HIM.There is no courteous talk in this country.A stranger is never safe in America.
This has happened to a girl here in US in a public library.and she thought the man of his father's age cant have those intentions.This country is full of sick people.so be careful and keep your guards up.
All of you going for interviews to newyork,make sure there is some male relative or friend whom you trust be with you.Donot trust anyone you dont know.donot take any thing from anyone.Donot get into some stranger's car,even if u r desperate.CALL 911 for any kind of help.and also at work place,starting residency,this culture is full of perverts,sick people and JUST DONOT NEGLECT YOUR INSTINCTS.If u feel some person is trying to make u uncomfortable,call the police.
GIRLS!U got to be safe here.Keep your eyes open and the culture here is different.Nomatter how friendly a man is,never let him cross his limits by talking cheap or touching you in any way.
Always be with your husband,brother,friends or father when you are going to some risky area.
welcome to UNITED STATES.

.I understand your concerns,but everyone here is an adult.Women are much stronger as I understand most of them at this forum are either wives or mothers in US(i emphasise MOSTLY),and all of us are now at that stage of life when we are getting ready to raise our kids.Those were old times when mothers never talked to their daughters about this stuff but now is different.Instead of being scared and all the time looking at others to protect you,I think it is time to be strong and be a protection for someone else,your kids.
