Recent research suggests it is an ongoing problem in many workplaces. For example, in a May 2023 TUC poll of more than 1,000 women, three in five said they had experienced sexual harassment, bullying or verbal abuse at work and this figure rose to almost two in three women aged between 25 and 34. The poll also found that most women do not report the harassment for fear of not being believed, or it damaging their working relationships and career prospects.
