Cultural diversity is not a common word in Tunisia, we don't talk about it, because we think that the minority is protected by our religion and our culture. But it is not real, cultural diversity exist in all its shapes and it has a great effect on the society organizations, and specially the military. we can be confronted in the Tunisian military to all type of diversity. And I believe that the gender diversity is the worts because it leads to sexual harassment and organization disfunction.
Sexual harassment is not fair in the military and the woman is the mostly affected. In one hand, because many men are not used to work too close to woman and when men have an authority on women he uses this authority to exploit her. In the other hand to stick to her job, to get promoted or to have a good assignment, women uses all her best (charm) to influence her commander decision and most of the time the commander misunderstand her. Military laws are very hard against sexual harassment to protect woman’s liberty, the military leaders use all their means…show more content… In one side because man think that the woman is weak and she can’t do hard work, and the commander don't give her the chance to do critical jobs, in the other side, when the women is the commander the troops find many difficulties to accept orders from her. In the two sides the unit will never do the work as we expected to be done an the productivity will decrease. To reduce this kind of diversity the military is working to recruit more and more women in order to make their presence in the military as normal as possible, and will be treated as a man and given hard
