Half of Welsh workers face sexual harassment at work – TUC Cymru

Almost half of workers in Wales have experienced sexual harassment at work, a survey commissioned by TUC Cymru found. 

The survey reported 43% of men and 48% of women had faced sexual harassment in the workplace. 

Young workers aged 25-34 were most affected, with just over half (53%) saying they had experienced it. 

The numbers fell with age but remained at 21% for those over 55.

Men were less likely to report incidents, with only 11% coming forward compared to 17% of women. 

Men were also more likely to approach their union rep, with 21% doing so, compared to 13% of women.

A third of women (30%) who did not report said it was because they did not think it was serious enough.

More than one in 10 respondents said their workplace either had no formal sexual harassment policy or they were not aware of one.
