Glasgow woman called 'prostitute' by boss in 'degrading' work environment awarded £19k compensation

A Glasgow woman called a "prostitute" and told to go to the gym by her boss has been awarded almost £19,000 in compensation after a judge ruled she was subjected to a "degrading" and "humiliating" environment.

Aishah Zaman, 35, took her former boss Shahzad Younas to court after working at Knightsbridge Furnishing in East Kilbride from July 2018 to April 2020. Her role was as office assistant and later manager, and the court heard she was subjected to regular sexual advances and derogatory statements from Mr Younas.

Aishah is also a local DJ for Awaz FM, a local radio station serving Glasgow’s Asian community, and regularly plays at weddings and birthdays.
