According to a research by International Labor Organization and Human Resource Development Council, 27% women could not pay attention to work, 22.7% women remain absent at work, 15.8% women become ineffective at their work due to sexual harassment at work. The research also reported that: 80% women accept sexual harassment at work silently.
