“…From the study, Nigerian legal practitioners have a high level of knowledge about sexual harassment. This finding is similar with other previous studies which found that their participants have a high knowledge of factors that constitutes sexual harassment (Apaak and Sarpong, 2015). In contrast with our finding, some studies stated average knowledge of sexual harassment among their respondents (Gabriel and Panahon, 2017;Aditi et al, 2016) while some participants displayed a low knowledge of sexual harassment (Das and Rath, 2015).…”

Sexual Harassment has been a habitual phenomenon among legal professionals. Consequently, "suffering and smiling" is the concealed solution to this challenge due to the importance of livelihood and career development. This study seeks to examine the prevalence of sexual harassment within the Nigerian legal profession, whether there is need for the victims to be protected and provided with legal structure to confidently report issue of sexual harassment, and whether there is a need for domestic law for the society. Empirical and descriptive research methods were adopted, 561 Nigerian lawyers were surveyed using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected and analyzed using frequencies, chi-square, chart, regression and correlation analysis. It revealed that there is no adequate social structure for addressing sexual harassment and prolonged exposure to sexual harassment has disguised its true effect on the victims. Thus, there is a need for professional regulation to combat sexual harassment among the lawyers.

The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the framework to researchers doing research on sexual harassments by forms of media. A conceptual approach, drawing on theoretical framework of cultivation theory, is applied. However, this paper draws a comprehensive review of previous researches that were conducted in the area of news media cultivation. This paper refers to the specific findings of the Pakistani and Malaysian literature to illustrate the research patterns with respect to identifying the relationships between sexual harassments news exposure, knowledge, intolerant attitude, and propensity to act. The paper argues on the literature results and suggestions and highlights a research gap while adding the 'sexual harassments knowledge', as an additional variable in the conceptual model. This paper provides potential reviews to conduct future studies in the perspective of media cultivation. News media needs to practice positive and informative content in sexual harassments news coverage that can provides high news exposure that enhances the knowledge, which can reform intolerant attitude with correct behavior. A framework that integrates a theoretical contribution in expanding the uses of cultivation theory in spreading awareness about sexual harassment. The findings of this study provide direction for practice and for future research on the cultivation of sexual harassments content, exposure, and relationships with other variables. The paper intends to encourage researchers to support a theoretical approach and to help practitioners better understand the reasons of tolerant attitude with wrong behavioral intentions while dealing a silent crime.

“…Aditi et al (2016), who studied 408 undergraduate students from selected professional colleges, found that scholars' perceptions about sexual harassment differed from others in relation to their age, gender, and study program. Apaak and Sarpong (2015), who studied in Ghana, stated that most women did not understand what sexual harassment meant because the definition was a bit confusing with the definition of rape. Hlavka, Heather R (2014) found that the people they studied did not question actions that, according to researchers and educators, were considered sexual harassment or merely harassment because such actions were considered normal.…”
