This study aims to socially analyze the lived experiences of working women regarding sexual harassment in the workplace. A qualitative research method was employed for this investigation. A total of 31 working women from both formal and informal sectors (judicial and sales professions) in the city of Roudsar were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding methods. The findings revealed three main forms of sexual harassment: verbal, non-verbal, and physical. Verbal harassment included repeated sexual propositions, persistent requests for mobile phone numbers, unsolicited expressions of affection, threats, and sexual innuendos. Non-verbal harassment involved sexist gestures, acts mimicking sexual behavior, and voyeurism. Physical harassment consisted of inappropriate touching, excessive proximity, and unwanted physical contact. The responses to these incidents varied, including personal avoidance, verbal reprimands, and proactive confrontations. In many cases, women perceived the harassment as normalized by society, while threats from the perpetrators, lack of evidence, and absence of witnesses complicated their ability to seek justice. The consequences of such harassment included psychological distress, social isolation, and a growing distrust of society.

Colorectal cancer is a common and lethal disease with various distribution of Incidence in different part of the world and it is known as the third most common cause of cancer death in the world. Since several studies in the world represented different survival rates for colorectal cancer in this study we aimed to determine the survival of a group of Iranian patients and some related factors retrospectively. We studied patients which were diagnosed pathologically as colorectal cancer referring to Shariati and Mehr hospital between 1374-1382 for surgical resection of tumor and all of them could be contacted by phone to get further information. 237 patients with colorectal cancer were studied. Male to female ratio was 1.25 and 11.8% of patients at the time of diagnosis were younger than 40 years old. Left colon involvement rather than right colon was three times more common and nearly half of patients were diagnosed at stage the of localized tumor. The overall one and five year's survival were 80% and 49% respectively, and had no difference in both sex (p›0.05).Patients with well differentiated tumor or with localized tumor had higher survival rate (respectively p‹0.05 and p=0.000). A significant lower 5 year survival rate was seen in patients with rectosigmoid involvement. according to our findings, 5 year survival rate in Iranian patients was lower than western countries and also we have the higher proportion of young colorectal cancer cases in Iran, so we need to plan regular screening program for finding patients and then follow and treat them extensively.
