Sexual harassment of Inuit women at mines no surprise: Pauktuutit president – Nunatsiaq News
Apr 9, 2021
Reports of stalking, indecent exposure and forced consumption of substances
Rebecca Kudloo lives in Baker Lake and has heard stories from her friends who work at the nearby Meadowbank gold mine.
That’s why the president of Pauktuutit Inuit Women of Canada isn’t surprised to hear more than half of Inuit women working in the mining industry who responded to a recent survey say they have experienced sexual harassment at work.
“One time a woman told me she quit her job because her boss didn’t respect her,” she said.
“Another told me a story when she worked as a janitor, where this man came out of his room stark naked.”
