INTRODUCTION
With the rise of sexual harassment cases nowadays, it is becoming essential to find a viable

alternative to give awareness to community especially youth in dealing with sexual harassment.
Sexual harassment is not a small issue but it is an issue that everyone should aware and it is vital for
us to open our eyes to be aware of it. So, we come out with Know Your Action: Everyone, Everyday,
Everywhere programme. Basically, this program is the first program organizes by ED2605A from
Faculty of Education, UiTM Puncak Alam on the issue of sexual harassment. This program focuses on
all UiTM students and being conducted with the help of faculty administration, lecturers and also
facilitators.
Before, we come out with this program, we already doing some analysis by giving questionnaire to
random respondents regarding sexual harassment. Basically, the questionnaire been distributed to
measure the awareness of people about sexual harassment whether they understand or not what is
actually sexual harassment. Then, from that this program was created.
Therefore, this program being created as to increase awareness among people especially youth which
are those tend to be the victim. This program will involve around 250 UiTM students and 10
facilitators which came from class members of ED2605A. All the facilitators have been trained on
how to deal with the acts of sexual harassment. This program consists of 3 modules which are Why I
am here: The intro, laws and case history, What would you do? Speak ups reporting sexual
harassment, It happened: Now what?. All these three modules have different objectives that
emphasizes on the importance of understanding of this issue. Before these modules are being
proposed, the committee had made a careful research in order to find out the most suitable modules
that suit in increases awareness on sexual harassment issue. These modules are being expected to raise
students concern about regarding this issue.
This program will be held on 1st October 2016 at DKF 2, FF4, Faculty of Pharmacy, UiTM Puncak
Alam which is selected due to its facilities that meet our requirement for this program.

RATIONALE
This Know Your Action: Everyone, Everyday, Everywhere is actually a program which is

open to 250 students of UiTM Puncak Alam from various faculties and programs who are interested in
joining us. Those 250 students who register early can join the program. As more students who are
about to join this program are from various faculties and programs, this can attract them to really
enjoy this program. This program will be held to let them know how their actions can actually affect
their life which means that how they actually behave when they were sexually harassed can actually
change their way of living.
As we want to help students to have the correct way for behavior when they are sexually
harassed, we came out with this program which can help the students to know what they should do
when they are sexually harassed. Our program will consist of three knowledgeable modules. Our
program will start with a talk about sexual harassment where students will be able to identify what
sexual harassment is. Apart from that, students will also be able to differentiate which is sexual
harassment and which is not. The next module is an open discussion where the students will be able
to let out their ideas or opinions regarding sexual harassment.
A topic will be presented and students can share their opinions and ideas about the topic. This will be
like a debate, but in a bigger range. In this second module, the students can ask any questions they
want to so that they will be more interested to join this program. The last module is the practical
module where the students will be shown a demonstration of how to defend themselves during an act
of sexual harassment. This demonstration will be conducted by the facilitators which have been taught
by the speaker about the ways to defend themselves.
The rationale of having this kind of program is because we want to create awareness among
the students of UiTM Puncak Alam regarding sexual harassment. It is not that all the students are not
aware of this case, but scads of students are still not aware about this case. There are many cases
regarding sexual harassment. Sexual harassment can be done by anyone, anywhere and anytime.
Therefore, we want to create the awareness among the students so that they know that these sexual
harassments are getting worse day by day.

There are many cases about sexual harassment, but sadly many cases were not reported as they
think that it is just a small problem and it wont get worse. In reality, sexual harassment is a big issue
and it can get worse if it is not prevented immediately. Sexual harassment also happens among young
children where they send inappropriate pictures to their friends saying that they are joking around but
actually this is more than joking around. The victims who get harassed should speak up against this
act of sexual harassment. In this way, this matter can be prevented from getting worse and our
community could have been living in peace without any worries.

3.0 THE CURRICULUM

3.1 NEED ANAYSIS
3.1.1 Method of need analysis
Observation
Sexual harassment means any repeated unwelcome verbal, non-verbal, visual, psychological or
physical conduct of a sexual nature that causes the victim to be daunted, terrified and humiliated. It
can take different forms; in instance, stares which concentrates on parts of the body like breasts and
hips, remarks with double and sexual meaning (e.g. "If you bend over, I'll give you a raise),
derogatory or demeaning remarks on women's bodies, wolf-whistling, touching, squeezing, pinching,
tickling, "accidentally" brushing private parts of the body, making sexual advances or asking a woman
outright for a date and promising a raise in reward.
This intolerable social behaviour creates a hostile working environment which has real implications
on productivity, efficiency and employee turnover, and can also result in stress related physical
injuries in the victims. If someone we acknowledged is sexually harassed, support should be given to
her. Let her know that it is not her fault, and remind her that sexual harassment is discrimination.
Listen without judgement, and refer her to where she can get help. However, this community seem to
have lack of attention and exposure from the generic public which made this issue as something
common to be heard or seen. Those who have been sexually harassed have trouble making friends,
earn little or nothing at all and virtually remain as prisoners of their homes due to traumatism. This
is because of the outside environments that ignorantly overlook the special needs in getting the society
to be attentive of this issue. Thus, we take this initiative to raise awareness of the importance to
prevent this act of inhumanity among the UiTM Puncak Alam students.
On the 17th June 2016, our program director, Nurul Syafenaz binti Hisham along with a few members
of the class distributed questionnaires regarding the matter. The questionnaires were distributed
spontaneously at randomly picked student around UiTM Puncak Alam at different faculty.

The questionnaires that were stated:

1.
2.
3.
4.

I know well what sexual harassment is.

I am aware of sexual harassment issue in Malaysia.
I know how to protect myself from being a victim.
I understand the reason why most of the victims dont speak up when they are facing such

situation.
5. I understand the impact of sexually harassment to the victims social life.

Based on the distributed questionnaires, most of the respondent gives positive feedback on the first
question. Numerous of them stated that they know well what sexual harassment is. This indicates that
somehow they have knowledge or probably have heard of the term. On the second question, most of
them gave negative feedback which is that they are not well aware of the sexually harassment issues
in Malaysia which signposts that these students could possible being careless or lack of reading the
current issues in Malaysia.
Scads of them stated that they do not know how to protect themselves from being a victim of sexual
harassment. This clearly shows that they are not being exposed to the self-protection technique.
Besides that, all of the students claim that they do not understand the reason why most of the victims
dont speak up when they are facing such situation.
The fact of speaking up is just the beginning of a process, one that can last years, drag through a
courtroom, entangle parents and loved ones, cast a cloud over work, and require the continual retelling
of a uniquely horrific event. For the fifth question, the results were equal where half of them stated
that they understand the impact of sexually harassment to the victims social life while the others
stated the opposite.
One of the impacts will be embarrassment, stigma, fear of not being believed, and fear of being
hounded, and a desire to just get some place beyond the pain.

3.1.2 Information Gathering

On 18th June 2016, a meeting was held regarding this rising concern. The program committee
members agreed that some innovation should be made in designing awareness type of program so that
it will attract students and give positive impact to them. However, most of the students nowadays tend
to attend an event willingly without any force applied. So, we need to come out with a very
tremendous tentative and invite a speaker whos is an expert regarding the matter.
After a few meetings, we come out with the idea of a new awareness-type program. This program
should be able to kindle students attentiveness towards the issues of sexual harassment around the
globe. The program has to be held at the faculty because we want them to feel comfortable and easy
access to attend.
The modules must be able to draw students interest, interactive, equip new knowledge for them and
also to give something that can make them aware of the matter. In other words, it should motivate
student to have protection for their own selves.
The modules will be conducted by an expert speaker and facilitators so that they are able to fulfil the
objectives of the modules. The committee members will also help the progress of the program.

Learn why victims dont speak up

Understand why everyone should speak up
Understand the impact of harassment on the victim
Learn what to do if they are a victim

Input of the talk:

Many victims of public harassment do not report the incident(s). Having all students understand why
victims choose not to speak up is imperative to having them understand why they all must. The key to
teaching students their individual roles and responsibilities, in regards to preventing and responding to
public violence, is giving them an understanding of the real and severe impacts of harassment. They
have to understand that harassment not only impacts the individual(s) involved, but also the entire
community.
