Protecting the Image: Sexual Assault within Sikh Organizations

Abstract

The image of one’s organization is extremely powerful as it can either help or hurt the success of the organization. In hopes of succeeding, however, people are willing to make immoral decisions that are against the organization’s mission. Throwing religion into the mix only further complicates this. The purpose of this study is to examine the history of sexual assault within Sikh organizations, the position Sikh organizations take on sexual assault, and the contradictory nature of some Sikh organizations regarding sexual assault.
