A recent study conducted by the Federal Office for Gender Equality (FOGE) and the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) shows that sexual harassment in the workplace is a persistent problem in Switzerland despite preventive measures. One-third of workers have already been affected by sexual harass-ment at work. When asked about specific situations, over half of workers state that they have experienced unwelcome sexist or sexual behaviour. Women, young professionals and apprentices are particularly exposed. The study in-cludes recommendations for prevention and is part of the Gender Equality Strategy 2030.
