Why should sexual harassment prevention training be given to all employees at the workplace?

Correct answer: To create a safe respectful and responsible work culture

The correct answer is A, to create a safe, respectful and responsible work culture. Sexual harassment prevention is not the responsibility of only one gender or one department; every employee must understand respectful behaviour, consent, boundaries, reporting channels and the duty to prevent misconduct. The reasoning is: shared knowledge improves awareness; awareness helps people recognise wrong conduct; clear procedures encourage reporting; responsible action protects dignity. Option A is correct because training supports safety, respect and accountability. Option B, blaming only women, is wrong and unjust because responsibility belongs to all employees and harassment is never the victim’s fault. Option C, hiding complaints, is wrong because prevention training should make reporting clearer and safer. Option D, reducing work opportunities, is wrong because the purpose is equal participation, not exclusion. Memory cue: prevention training means dignity, awareness and responsibility for everyone.
