Sexual comments, unwanted touch, threats and attacks are still widespread and common “in working environments, according to a new report published in Great Britain.
A six-month investigation of the Women's and Equality Committee found that employers and leaders have superseded “their responsibilities, while the government did not even collect data on the spread of sexual harassment at the workplace.
The “is totally shameful since 2018, unwanted sexual comments, touch, wiretapping and assault are seen as a daily event and part of culture in many jobs. Government, regulators, and employers are avoiding their responsibilities for a long time. The effects of sexual harassment can be traumatic and destructive, and this is reinforced by the personal evidence we have received. Lack of adequate support for domestic victims cannot continue”, said Maria Miller, who heads the committee.
The report suggests there should be a new legal code of practice for employers to protect their staff, while access to the court system should become easier.
