Introduction
The problem which is chosen for this paper is the focusing on the issues that the female
professors are facing in the premises of the university. On the prospect of sexual harassment with
the women professors being the victims of the pestering behavior from the students is increasing
day by day. There is a research conducted on the XYZ University where the women section were
interviewed and almost most of the section had the same petition. The focus is on the problem

directed towards the subordinates. The solution towards the problem can be defined by means of
