Worryingly, many women didn’t feel as if they could take action against their harassers.

The study revealed that 79% of women who have been sexually harassed at work did not tell their employers it was happening, as they were concerned it would affect their career prospects – or that they wouldn’t be believed.

Many who had experience harassment also admitted that, at the time, they had assumed it was an incident of minor importance. Others added that they had gone on to change their work habits, attempting to avoid certain places or times in a bid to avoid their harasser.

Around one in 14 women said that their confidence had been affected by the incident.
