SEXUAL HARASSMENT STATISTICS
Sep 23, 2019
Eight in 10 Women Say Sexual Harassment, and a Third Say Sexual Abuse.
More than half of U.S. women have experienced unwanted and inappropriate sexual advances from men, three in 10 have put up with unwanted advances from male co-workers and a quarter have endured them from men who had influence over their work situation.
Those results in a new
ABC News-Washington Post poll show the vast extent to which women encounter inappropriate sexual conduct from men across U.S. society, marking the allegations against movie mogul Harvey Weinstein as merely the latest public eruption of a far broader and deeper problem.
As can be expected, emotions were also polled as to how the victim's felt after their experience and they fell into shame, guilt, intimidation, and anger.
It's time we establish some new rules for the workplace!

The spectrum of bad behavior ranges from no touching, to unwelcome advances (such as groping, unwanted touching, and forced kisses), inappropriate sexual language, and oral sex. The statistics are overwhelming and affect almost all work industries. More troubling are the national statistics of domestic violence. Check out this
