Abstract | Sexual harassment in the workplace is a persistent global issue that affects employees across continents, compromising both individual well-being and organizational integrity. This study provides a comparative analysis of the prevalence, perceptions, and responses to workplace sexual harassment, examining regional variations influenced by cultural norms, legal frameworks, and organizational structures. Data from global reports, peer-reviewed studies, and organizational policies, published between 2019 and 2024, are utilized to identify patterns and challenges in addressing harassment. The findings reveal significant underreporting, particularly in regions like Africa and Asia, due to cultural stigma, fear of retaliation, and inadequate reporting mechanisms. In contrast, regions such as North America, Europe, and Oceania demonstrate stronger responses due to robust legal protections, organizational policies, and advocacy campaigns. The study emphasizes the importance of cultural sensitivity, comprehensive legal frameworks, and organizational accountability in mitigating workplace harassment. It concludes with recommendations for enhancing global efforts to combat harassment, including improving reporting systems, promoting employee empowerment, and fostering inclusive workplace environments to ensure safety and respect for all workers worldwide. |
