The British Council in Morocco failed to protect a British employee from sexual harassment by a senior diplomatic official.
The incident took place in the capital, Rabat, and the victim, who maintains her identity confidential and is known only by the initials “K.G.”, gave testimony about a series of repeated incidents that began with inappropriate WhatsApp messages and reached unwanted physical intrusions, forcing her to leave her job under duress.
The harassment included tracking her movements and breaking into her home under the pretext of delivering flowers, in actions that went beyond all bounds of decency and professional respect.
The East London Employment Tribunal heard the case and concluded that the council had failed to provide the victim with the necessary protection and had been extremely reluctant to deal with complaints of abusive behavior. The ruling clearly indicated that the initial response to the complaint was weak and did not reflect the seriousness required in such cases.
It is worth noting that in the United Kingdom, sexual harassment in the workplace is a serious crime and is punishable by financial compensation, dismissal, or even criminal prosecution, and companies are obligated to provide a safe and harassment-free work environment and take effective action when it occurs.
