<Anchor> The 



results of a survey on sexual harassment in the workplace conducted by the government every three years are out.

When the corona spread, the place where the most sexual harassment occurred was changed from a dinner party to an office, and two out of three people still said that they endured damage even if they suffered damage.

The survey was conducted between September last year and January of this year, targeting 2,530 private and public institutions. 



7.9% of women and 2.9% of men have experienced sexual harassment at least once in the past three years. 



It decreased slightly from the last survey, but it is interpreted as the effect of an increase in telecommuting after the corona virus. 



As the number of meeting places decreased, the place where sexual harassment occurred the most was changed to the office. 



As non-face-to-face work increased, the first response was that they had suffered sexual harassment online, such as in group chat rooms and SNS. 



Although the number of respondents who raised a problem about sexual harassment has increased compared to the last survey, two out of three victims still answered that they 'have endured it'.



Many respondents said that they did so because they were worried that the relationship with the perpetrator would become uncomfortable or that the organization would tolerate it.



Two out of ten victims said they had experienced secondary harm, in which people around them reacted or behaved negatively to them.



5.5% of those who heard or witnessed sexual harassment by others at work accounted for 64.1% of those who 'taken no special action' after witnessing it.



The rate of sexual harassment by employees of public institutions fell by nearly 10 percentage points from the previous survey, but was higher than those of private companies.



The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family is planning to amend the relevant laws so that public institution heads and managers are obliged to implement victim protection measures.
