[Financial News] More than 1 in 10 employees think they are not safe from sexual crimes in the workplace.
Jikjang Gapjil 119 commissioned a survey from the polling agency Global Research, which surveyed 1,000 employees nationwide aged 19 and over from July 1 to 7, and revealed these results on the 7th.
12.8% of respondents said that their current or most recent workplace is not safe from sexual crimes. This rate was higher among women (16.3%) than men (9.7%), and higher among non-regular workers (15.8%) than regular workers (10.8%).

There were also responses such as 'It seems that there will be retaliation from the perpetrator' (20.7%), 'It seems that appropriate punishment will not be carried out' (21.3%), and 'It seems that the identity of the reporter will be exposed' (25.9%).
