Harassment and surveillance
Njoki Macharia was seated at her desk, working on a news script, when she overheard her editor make a crude sexual remark about her to a male colleague. “Na ni nani hukula Njoki huku?” he asked in Swahili slang, a lewd question aimed at finding out who, if anyone, in that newsroom was sleeping with her.
