Studie der Gewerkschaft TUC, 11.8.2016 (engl. Originalfassung)
Bra-pinging, groping, sexual innuendoes, unwanted advances. It might sound like a scene from the retro television series Mad Men, but this is the reality today for half of all women in the UK workforce, according to a new survey from the country’s Trade Union Congress.
It’s the first time in decades the issue of sexual harassment at work has been researched in such detail, and the findings make for a grim read, says the TUC’s general-secretary, Frances O’Grady: “Sexual harassment is alive and well in the modern workplace.”
Of the 1,533 women surveyed, 52% said they had experienced workplace sexual harassment. The type of behaviour ranged from sexual comments – which 35% of women said they’d heard – to unwanted touching. More than 10% of the survey respondents said someone at work had tried to kiss them or touch their breasts, buttocks or genitals without their consent.
