AS PER A 2022 INTERNATIONAL LABOUR ORGANIZATION (ILO) REPORT

Harassment, Discrimination and Bullying are pervasive issues that affect individuals across the World in various
settings be it schools, workplaces, homes, public spaces or online platforms.
one in five people in employment experienced violence and harassment at work
0 %
employed individuals said they experienced psychological violence and harassment in their working life

0 %
Many may not fully understand the different forms of harassment, their impact on individuals, or the long-term consequences. Further, such topics are considered ‘taboo’ topics across several parts of the world making it further difficult to bring such issues to the forefront.
