THE majority of black women have experienced sexual harassment at work with many comments rooted in racism, a new report has found.

Research by the TUC revealed that 65 per cent of black women reported experiencing sexual harassment of some form, with high rates of unwelcome verbal sexual advances, unwanted touching or sexual jokes. 

Thirty-five per cent of respondents to the union body’s survey said that they had experienced negative, gender-based attitudes that diminish women in general, or black women specifically.
