Sexual Harassment of Working Women
Sexual harassment of working women refers to unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature in the workplace. This behavior can create a hostile work environment, affecting women's job performance, mental health, and overall well-being. It can occur in various forms, including inappropriate comments, unwanted touching, or suggestive gestures.
