Title What are the effects of sexual harassment on garment workers in Bangladesh? Media name/outlet SCISPACE Media type Web Duration/Length/Size 2 paragraphs Date 01/01/22 Description Sexual harassment has significant effects on garment workers in Bangladesh. Female garment workers (FGWs) in the garment industry face various violations of their human rights, including sexual harassment, health problems, and exploitation [1]. The workplace is identified as one of the main locations where violence against women occurs, with FGWs experiencing sexual assault from male co-workers and factory owners [2]. The prevalence of sexual harassment in Bangladesh is high, with surveys indicating that a significant percentage of women face physical, psychological, and social violence, including receiving inappropriate comments from strangers and known individuals [3]. These violations have detrimental consequences for the health and well-being of FGWs, making them vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV [4]. To address these issues, it is crucial for all stakeholders, including FGWs, garment factory owners, and policymakers, to work together to improve the health and safety of FGWs, implement preventive programs, and reform legislation to prevent workplace violence [5] .
