Male colleagues used to burp openly, used to talk dirty, woman filed a case, got Rs 2 crore in return!

Women often have to face gender discrimination in the workplace. They are made fun of even for small things. Many times people tease her by saying that she is a woman and will not be able to complete the work. Despite all this, women have to face these things bravely. A woman also did this, but when she got fed up with the actions of her male colleagues, she filed a case against them. This woman from England had to bear the dirty talk of male colleagues and had to endure listening to their burps. She filed a discrimination case and won. He got hold of more than Rs 2 crore.

According to the report of Daily Star, Rowena Owens used to work in Network Rail Company. But she had to face gender discrimination there. He started working at Railway Headquarters in the year 2015. At that time there were only 2 or 3 women in the team of 40 people. On the very first day of his job, he offered to make tea for his colleagues. Then a male colleague asked her a very objectionable question related to romance.

Male colleagues used to say objectionable things
During the hearing in the Employment Tribunal, it was found that Rowena had faced gender discrimination 25 times. She then worked at Wimbledon Signal Center in South-West London. He told that the male employees used to watch objectionable films and talk in the office and once an objectionable toy was also waved in front of them. But apart from these things, she was quite worried about one more thing, that was her habit of burping. Many male colleagues used to sit next to him and burp continuously. Once a co-worker burped continuously for 15 minutes and she had to ask if he was okay!

Woman filed case, got compensation of Rs 2 crore
Many times men used to put objectionable pictures as wallpaper on their office computers. Once when he made a mistake in signalling, a male employee said that this was the result of keeping women in the signal box. Many times men would whistle near him and make various objectionable comments. Many bad things were said about women train drivers. When he complained against all these things, he was fired from his job. She also claimed gender discrimination but it was not accepted. But he appealed against that decision in the court and then Network Rail admitted its mistake and compensated him for the mental stress and discrimination, which is more than Rs 2 crore.
