"Unwanted sexual attention and behaviour are a persistent problem in many
workplace cultures. But the workplace sexual harassment of LGBTQ employees is
often overlooked.
Sexual harassment is generally understood through heterosexuality, in which
male bosses target female employees with unwanted sexualised behaviours. This
perspective of workplace sexual harassment has been enshrined in film, from
1980’s
9 to 5 to 2019’s
Bombshell.
Broad population studies show LGBTQ people experience sexual harassment in the
workplace and at education and training institutions at disproportionately
higher rates than heterosexual women.
But there is limited understanding of how LGBTQ young people experience
workplace sexual harassment. We conducted a landmark study funded by ANROWS of
more than 1,000 LGBTQ young people aged between 14 and 30. We found more than
three quarters had experienced sexual harassment at work."
