A survey of organizations made up by the parties found that about 70% of the people who work in “freelance” who undertake work on their own have suffered damage such as power harassment and sexual harassment. Organizations need measures to prevent damage.
According to a questionnaire survey conducted by organizations made up of freelancers in the entertainment world and the media industry, 72% of the 1,200 respondents answered that they had received some form of harassment, such as power harassment and sexual harassment. .
The content of harassment is 59% for “mental attacks” such as rants, insults, and intimidations, 42% for “excessive demand”, and 39% for “economic harassment”.
In addition, 45% of respondents answered that they did not consult even if they were damaged.
A woman in her 40's who suffered from sexual violence from a person involved in work said, “I want a minimum rule, such as not having a one-on-one meeting in a private room such as a hotel. There is also a need for compensation in that case. "
In May over the power harassment in the workplace, a law was enacted that required companies to take preventive measures, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare will continue to develop specific guidelines.
According to the group that conducted the survey, “Preventing harassment and helping victims are necessary no matter what form you work in. I want you to listen to the earnest voice of freelancers.”
