Sexual harassment still ‘endemic’ at work, say STUC

SEXUAL harassment at work “in 2024 is every bit as endemic as it has been for decades before,” according to a damning new report from the STUC women’s committee.

The Still Silent? report’s publication today comes as delegates gather in Glasgow for the annual STUC women’s conference, and outlines the continuing hostile environment women face in the workplace and beyond.

A survey of 512 women in work found that three-quarters said their personal experiences of harassment in the workplace had stayed the same, with only 16 per cent recording improvement and nine per cent saying matters had got worse.
