The Land Transport Authority has today promised all the females around the country that Public Service drivers who harass females in any way will be severely dealt with.
Chief Executive Officer, Naisa Tuinaceca today heard from a group of more than 12 female passengers about their ordeal of being sexually harassed by PSV drivers, mainly taxi drivers.
An emotional USP student of Nasinu, Lusiana Valu while sharing her experience asked Tuinaceva to include harsher penalties in PSV code of conduct so that such drivers lose their PSV license.
She said she was harassed when she was in class one however she is still living with the trauma.
Tuinaceva said that this is the first time he has come across female passengers sharing their experiences openly.
Meanwhile, LTA will now work closely with the Emerging Leaders Forum Alumni to see that sexual harassment stops.
