According to TUC, in whose survey 1,000 women participated, fewer than one in three disclose these types of incidents because victims believe they will not be believed or that it could harm their careers.
Three out of five women, and two-thirds of those between the ages of 25 and 34, claim to have suffered sexual or psychological harassment and verbal aggression at work, according to the survey, which also indicates that in the vast majority of cases these incidents were not isolated and were repeated.
The TUC General Secretary, Paul Novak, stresses that “many women in jobs in contact with the public, such as sales clerks, doctors or receptionists, are often subjected to aggressive behavior by clients and patients.”
Add that “Sexual or psychological harassment has no place in the modern workplace.”
The TUC has called on the British government not to back down on a bill to protect workers against harassment, which the union center says is being “sabotaged” by Conservative MPs.
