With a scarcity of job opportunities in Eldoret town and its environs, it has been revealed that some female job seekers are being forced to do the unthinkable so as to be favoured by the influential employers in various firms and organization.
A lady who declined to be identified revealed to Hivisasa that a high number of jobless women from upcountry migrate to the Uasin Gishu's capital on a daily basis in search of jobs.
With the limited opportunities, some girls are forced to do what might cost their lives to impress human resource managers.
“When I went to ask for a job vacancy as a waiter in one of the famous restaurant in town, the manager seduced me and demanded sexual favours," she disclosed.
Elvis Kering who was once a cleaner confessed that he knew the evils happen to desperate young women who are always promised jobs on condition that they meet bosses’ demand of sleeping with them.
“The manager and senior staffs who were influential in the hotel recruited ladies after sleeping with them. Some who failed to comply were deliberately dismissed,” Kering stated adding that the ‘dark businesses‘ were kept under the carpet with victims warned against telling their friends as they would consequently risk of losing their job.
Life coach Prisca Jerono says that in most cases, victims live in fear and never tell anyone of the experience thus ending up psychologically affected and frustrated.
“Women should stand out on their own and seek jobs depending on their qualifications. They can overcome this challenge by self believe and positive attitude, women have got the power to resist immoral advances and change the world," noted Jerono.
