{{Research conducted by Transparency Rwanda (TR) show that gender-based corruption exists in several workplaces, especially those in the private sector and the most affected are women who have been hesitant to report the injustices due to fear of losing their jobs.}}<\/p>\n
Marie Immaculee Ingabire , the TR Chairperson confirmed existence of the vice but commended progress made to ensure gender equality in the country. <\/p>\n
She also insisted on the need to do away with some corrupt practices that discriminated people particularly in workplaces.<\/p>\n
The survey dubbed \u2018gender based corruption at workplace re veiled that among its group respondents categorized in both homogenous and heterogeneous groups of people at work and those seeking for a job, that 5% of respondents personally experienced gender based corruption at workplaces.<\/p>\n
The survey indicates that women are most affected since they constitute a high number of job seekers. Commenting on the matter Mugabe Shyaka, a consultant and a researcher on the survey noted that the private sector is the most affected recording 58.3% of the interviewees who have met corrupt demands in the sector, while both public and civil society range at 51.4% and 43.1%.<\/p>\n
\u201cWomen make up 84.5% of those particularly looking for jobs, and the most perpetrators became men at a range of 83.2% working as directors or hold any other senior rank in an institution,\u201d said Shyaka.<\/p>\n
The study also reveals that human resource management is largely considered as being based on objective criteria, but 21% believe that the determination of salary is not objective.<\/p>\n
More worryingly, the report shows that 5.6% of victims reported the cases they encountered to the police or the ombudsman with the fear of likely negative consequences being the main reason why victims do not report.<\/p>\n
Reacting on the matter, Aloysia Inyumba, the Minister of Family and Gender Promotion (MIGEPROF) said that progress made to reduce corruption shouldn\u2019t be undermined by a few dishonest.<\/p>\n
\u201cA lot of efforts have been enhanced to ensure gender equality and those who are corrupt are dealt with accordingly,\u201d she remarked.<\/p>\n
She further observed that those affected should report the cases to relevant authorities, \u201cOur country has vowed to empower women and mobilize them to fight such immoral activities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
