    Two in five workers faced sexual harassment at work, but only one in three reported it. Male victims are less likely to report harassment due to norms around masculinity. Those who don't report often view their experiences as not serious enough or want to forget. Workplace harassment is underreported due to fears of retaliation or affecting work relations. Clear guidelines on harassment and protection for reporting are needed to address workplace culture and protect victims.

    Karahasan sa Work Environment

    Two in five workers polled faced sexual harassment and of those who did, just one in three reported it
    to an official authority at work. This worrying prevalence of sexual harassment is the case for men as
    well.Male victims are less likely to report sexual harassment and typically suffer in silence.Under-
    reporting in the case of male victims is often rooted in norms around masculinity that expect them to
    hide their vulnerabilities and emotional distress.For example, men are told that they would not be
    abused because they can always use their bodily strength to fight back, or that only gay men get sexually
    harassed. 

    Those who do not report the harassment said that they had dismissed their experiences as “not serious
    enough”, or they had wanted to forget the unpleasant experience.This is not unexpected given the lack
    of legislation against workplace harassment and attention to what constitutes such an offence.In
    addition, many people who encountered sexual harassment would think twice about reporting it
    because it may affect their standing at work and collegial relations.From conversations with my peers, I
    know that workplace sexual harassment is more prevalent than one may presume, yet also not really
    talked about.Not talking about it only perpetuates the culture of harassment and bullying in the
    workplace, and prevents victims from getting the care and support they deserve. I would like employers
    to address the factors that contribute to a victim’s fear that reporting will result in retaliation. These
    include sexism, gender stereotypes and unclear definitions of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour.

    It also does not help that society at large still upholds sexist beliefs and biases, and thinks it is okay to act
    on them.For example, women in the workplace are still judged by their appearances, as if what they
    wear matters more than their skills and competence.Remarks about wearing a low-cut top to meet with
    a client or jokes about letting men do the work because they “wear the pants around here” are
    frequently heard forms of sexism.Sexist “jokes” and verbal comments that cause discomfort are often
    insidious and concealed forms of sexual harassment and workplace discrimination.Men are also
    vulnerable and susceptible to such gender biases and harassment. The Government and employers
    should do more to dismantle this culture of harassment and bullying in the workplace. 

    Having a national legislation against workplace harassment as well as a clear guideline of what
    constitutes workplace sexual harassment would be the first step forward.I also support the call by the
    Association of Women for Action and Research for regular anti-harassment training across industries
    and the universal adoption of grievance-handling policies.Making reporting channels safe and
    accessible, and pushing for education around the subject of workplace harassment, should be a priority
    as well. Feeling safe in the workplace should not be something that we need to fight for — it should be a
    given. 
    Ang karahasan sa ibang kasarian ay dapat maiwasan lalo na sa lugar ng pagtatrabaho. Ang mga lalaki,
    babae, bakla, tomboy, at maraming pang iba ay dapat lumaban sa karahasan ng ibang nagdidisrespekto
    sa kasariang pinili nila. Ang lipunan ay iba din ang iniisip sa kung papaano lalabanan o paano
    magrereaksyon ang iba, halimbawa, posibleng isipin ng lipunan na ang mga lalaki ay medaling
    makakatakas sa karahasan dahil nga sa kanilang malakas na katawan at sa babae ay di sila makakalaban
    dahil nga sa sinasabing mahina sila. May takot din na may masamang mangyari sa trabaho at mapahiya
    ang taong nakadanas ng karahasan sa lipunan. Dapat lahat ng kasarian ay lumaban sa karahasan at
    tigilan ang diskriminasyon para di magkaroon ng pagkakahiya at takot sa paparating na krimen.
