Abstract

long time has gone since women entered the workplace; and instead of discussing whether or not women should enter workplace, we must now investigate women's experiences, troubles and problems. Talking about sexual harassment and feeling of insecurity goes back to more than four decades ago, but the evidence show that little work has been down on sexual harassment and feeling of insecurity; and even still in some societies speaking about this topic is typically considered to be a social taboo. Sexual harassment and feeling of insecurity are a manifestation of gender inequality at macro level. Apart from various gender discriminations, Women may become exposed to insecurity and harassment, because of their very own female body. The purpose of this article is to explore women's experiences regarding sexual harassment at workplace. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
