Only 3 in 10 victims of sexual harassment in Singapore report the incident
According to the first national survey conducted in Singapore regarding sexual harassment, two in five workers in the country report being sexually harassed at the workplace in the past five years.
The survey by market research company Ipsos in collaboration with gender-equality organization AWARE, conducted the first-ever nationally representative survey on workplace sexual harassment in Singapore. According to its findings, when respondents were asked “Have you been sexually harassed in the workplace within the last five years?”, one in 5 responded in the affirmative. However, when specific harassment situations were described to them, 2 in 5 reported that they had experienced such behaviors—indicating a gap in understanding of what constitutes sexual harassment.
