Increasing awareness in the U.S.

Sexual harassment is, of course, illegal but notoriously underreported. The discrepancy between perceived figures of cases and actual ones is severe, and in fact the actual number of cases of sexual harassment is at least twice as high as the average guesses, regardless of the country the survey was conducted in. However, in the United States, only a third of men and just as many women are really concerned about sexual harassment of women.

metoo sheds some light on dark figures

When the #metoo movement started in 2017, many women and men came forward and shared their experiences, and the number of reported cases of rape increased significantly. Public support for this movement is high in the United States, especially among the younger generations. Still, the United States have a long way to go, with harassment and discrimination based on gender and sexual harassment in the workplace still being a problem that needs to be addressed more thoroughly.

In the fiscal year 2023, around *** thousand consultations regarding sexual harassment were recorded by the Employment Environment and Equal Employment Offices in Japan. In the last decade, the number of consultations was highest in fiscal 2014 at approximately **** thousand.

Introduction

Sexual Assault Statistics: ​Sexual assault remains a pervasive global issue, affecting individuals across all demographics. According to the World Health Organization, nearly 30% of women worldwide have been subjected to physical and/or sexual violence by an intimate partner or non-partner. UNICEF reports that over 370 million girls and women, approximately one in eight globally, experienced rape or sexual assault before the age of 18. When including non-contact forms of sexual violence, such as verbal abuse or online harassment, this figure rises to 650 million, or one in five.

Among boys and men, between 410 and 530 million, or around one in seven, experienced sexual violence during childhood. In the United States, 81% of women and 43% of men have reported experiencing some form of sexual harassment or assault in their lifetime.

These statistics underscore the widespread nature of sexual violence and highlight the urgent need for comprehensive prevention and support strategies to address and mitigate its impact globally.

Women in News is a media development programme of the World Association of News Publishers. Its mission is to close the gender gap in news media. These data are from a study on sexual harassment in the media.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) is a national information and resource hub relating to all aspects of sexual violence. NSVRC staff collect and disseminate a wide range of resources on sexual violence including statistics, research, position statements, statutes, training curricula, prevention initiatives and program information. With these resources, NSVRC assists coalitions, advocates and others interested in understanding and eliminating sexual violence. NSVRC has an active and diverse Advisory Council that assists and advises staff and ensures a broad national perspective. NSVRC also enjoys a strong partnership with state, territory and tribal anti-sexual assault coalitions and allied organizations. NSVRC is funded through a cooperative agreement from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Division of Violence Prevention.

This study offers novel insights into mechanisms associated with sexual assault (SA) among sexual minority women (SMW). Experiences of bias and stigma contribute to lower rates of SA reporting by this population. This results in victims with unmet needs and fewer criminal prosecutions of SA perpetrators. This study used a mixed-methods approach to collect data from lesbian, bisexual, and heterosexual women to instigate changes that would improve responses from law enforcement, victim services, and anti-violence programs that serve SMW. This study comprised of three parts a: baseline survey, qualitative interview, and daily survey. Self-reported baseline questionnaires included topics like lifetime victimization (childhood sexual abuse, adult sexual aggression, and assault), discrimination, distress, mental health, alcohol use, and sexual history. The qualitative interviews focused on the most recent, and when applicable, the most salient adult sexual assault (ASA) incident. Interviews began by asking the participants to describe their ASA incidents with follow-probes asking about the victimization, perpetrator characteristics (gender and relationship to participant), and context of assault (role of alcohol or drugs and setting). Participants were also asked if they discussed the assault with anyone and their reasons for disclosure or non-disclosure. As well as short and long-term coping patterns. The daily survey asked participants about their mood, alcohol use, drinking contexts, and sexual experiences (consensual and non-consensual). This study contains demographic information such as: age, race, income, education, and BMI.

This statistic presents the perceived prevalence of sexual harassment against women in selected European countries in 2018, by gender. According to data published by Ipsos, ** percent of Swedish women have experienced sexual harassment, ** percent higher than what male respondents thought it was. In Denmark the actual percentage of women who had experienced harassment was ** percent higher than what men thought it was.

Nature of sexual assault by rape or penetration experienced by adults since the age of 16 years, including breakdowns by age, sex, victim-perpetrator relationship, location and other factors. Analyses from the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW).

The goal of the survey was to examine the determinants and effects of corporate innovations in the realms of harassment prevention and workforce diversity. Data come from a retrospective survey with a stratified random national sample of establishments drawn from the 1999 EEO1 files, matched with confidential government data from EEO1 reports on the workforce composition of surveyed establishments. These confidential data can be obtained through an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) agreement. The sample was stratified by industry (sampling equally from food, chemicals, computer equipment, transportation equipment, wholesale trade, retail trade, insurance, business services, and health services); by size (selecting 35% of the establishments with fewer than 500 employees in 1999); and by "age" in the EEO-1 dataset (we chose half of the sample from establishments that had been in the dataset since at least 1980, and half from those that had been in the dataset since at least 1992). Surveys were conducted with human resources managers or general managers, who were asked about the adoption of a list of personnel policies and programs and the years of adoption. The survey was conducted in 2002 by the Princeton University Survey Research Center. Additional information about the survey can be found in the Supporting Information for the PNAS article related to these data. Full citation information will be updated when it becomes available.

About Rape

Rape is often described as unwanted or forced 'sex' – or 'sex' that happened without consent. But, sex can only happen when everyone consents. Rape, on the other hand, is a form of sexual violence and a serious crime. Rape happens when someone didn't want to have sex or didn't give their consent for sex to happen.

About Woman Harassment in Bangladesh

Despite lots of laws and campaign, people's perceptions on sexual harassment are still wrong in our country and a huge part of our total population is ignorant of its laws, leading to an increase in gender based violence. About 84% of women in Bangladesh are constantly being sexually harassed on the road, in vehicles, in educational institutions, at work, and even at home. In this context and the occasion of 'Sexual Harassment Awareness Month' - ACTIONISTS organized its 17th episode of the "Dialogue for Action" series on 29th April, 2021. The topic of this webinar was "Prevention of Sexual Harassment in Bangladesh: Socio-legal Perspectives". The invited speakers were respectively SK Jenefa K Jabbar, Director of Human Rights and Legal Aid Services (HRLS), Social Compliance and Safeguarding at BRAC; Taslima Yasmin, Associate Professor at Department of Law, University of Dhaka and Najmul Islam, ADC of Cyber Crime Investigation Division, CTTC, DMP. The program was hosted by Mohammad Golam Sarwar, Assistant Professor of Law, University of Dhaka and Coordinated by A.N.M. Fakhrul Amin Forhad, Founder of ACTIONISTS. Article URL

The purpose of this study was to describe the frequency and consequences of sexual assault within abusive intimate relationships, specific to ethnicity and immigrant status, and compare the findings to a similar group of physically abused women who had not experienced intimate partner sexual assault. Research objectives included a description of the type, extent, and temporal sequencing of sexual assault, consequences of sexual assault on women's health and their children's functioning, and treatments used by women to end the sexual assault. This study follows an earlier study on the effectiveness of protection orders that began in January 2001 at a special family violence unit of the Harris County District Attorney's office in Houston, Texas. That study was called EVALUATING A COLLABORATIVE INTERVENTION BETWEEN HEALTH CARE AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE IN HARRIS COUNTY, TEXAS, 2001-2002 (ICPSR 3542). Among the initial cohort of 150 women, 148 women were alive in January 2003 and signed informed consent for the second study. Data from the first study on effectiveness of protection orders were re-stratified to measure differences between sexually abused and not-sexually abused women. Instruments used in the re-stratified analysis included instruments from the earlier study: a Demographic Data Form, Severity of Violence against Women Scales (SAVAWS), the Stalking Victimization Survey, the Danger Assessment Scale, a Worksite Harassment survey, and the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Short Form (SF-12) Health Survey, as well the addition of the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and Global Severity Index, the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Scale (PTSD), the Family Hardiness Index (FHI), the Medical Outcomes Study (MOS) Social Support Survey, and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL.). The data include responses from 35 children to the CBCL. The variables in this study also include the frequency of use and the effectiveness of social agencies used in 2002. Additional questions asked about type and frequency of decision-making and actions regarding sexual relations, condom use, and birth control. Women physically but not sexually assaulted were asked a series of questions regarding whether they had ever worried about sexual assault. A series of questions was asked regarding children being witness to physical abuse. A detailed history of perpetrator behavior at the time of the first and additional sexual assaults was obtained, as well as victim helpseeking and health problems following the sexual assault(s). There was also a series of questions regarding the health effects of forced sex on the victim.
