Six days after she was allegedly slapped with a piece of hot pizza, a former staff of the Peterpan Restaurant, a Korean eatery operating in Accra, Cecilia Ampadu, has told Citi News<\/strong>\u00a0she remains traumatized\u00a0by the incident.<\/p>\n

The Chief Executive Officer of the Restaurant, Young Gyu Lee, has been charged\u00a0with assault for allegedly assaulting\u00a0Cecilia, who was a supervisor\u00a0on duty last week Tuesday when a piece of pizza got burnt.<\/p>\n

[contextly_sidebar id=”5Q56rd3lpYOnkl5pb53qE3TRCsb60rBm”]Speaking to Citi News<\/strong>\u2019 Franklin Badu Jnr, Cecilia Ampadu revealed that she \u00a0is still emotionally traumatized by the unfair treatment meted out to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cI felt really hurt within. The first thing is, I am not the one who did the pizza, and moreover I have never done pizza before. I was not the one who taught the girl to do the pizza so I don\u2019t know why you should hit me with that pizza so I was really confused.\u201d<\/p>\n

Workers of Peterpan are not safe<\/strong><\/p>\n

Cecilia also expressed concern for her former co-workers at the Peterpan Restaurant because of the\u00a0abusive nature of her former employer.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it\u2019s not safe because I don\u2019t know what might happen if he gets angry. It could be a knife or hot oil that he could pour on someone and maybe the person might lose his or her life.<\/p>\n

She called on state institutions to ensure justice for her in order to serve as a deterrent for other\u00a0Ghanaians who are being maltreated by foreigners and even Ghanaian employers in the country.<\/p>\n

“I want justice. I don\u2019t know what is happening to my fellow Ghanaians somewhere else. Mine is out now and maybe it will help the others out there.”<\/p>\n

Gender and racial bias<\/strong><\/p>\n

A Human Rights Activist, Kinna Likimani, has also called on the police and other stakeholders working on the case to ensure justice prevails.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe would urge the Ghanaian police to do the\u00a0right thing\u00a0and not give in to and kind of influence,\u201d Kinna Likimani stated.<\/p>\n

According to her, this is a clear case of workplace and gender violence given the circumstances.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is in a powerful position being a her boss so there is workplace violence; but there is also gender violence because of the way in which people tend to view women especially those who have power over women in workplaces.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Human Rights Activist is also of the view there was some racial bias at play in the situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt also has racial bias because we live in a society where because we have been colonized and we haven\u2019t freed ourselves from internalized ideas of other races supremacy over us, we allow other races in Ghana to have free range over our own people and we allow the men the\u00a0space to misbehave.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe ourselves discriminate against Ghanaians and other races especially when white people are involved so there is also a bias here that is racial.\u201d<\/p>\n
