Abstract

In this article, we will be reviewing the literature on sexual harassment, its causes and effects. Sexual harassment is just one of the issues that people have to deal with. Females are more likely to be harmed than males, but both sexes are impacted. Both men and women will be taken into account in this study, which will also investigate the impacts of sexual harassment on both genders. As a result, the project intends to improve our understanding of the numerous forms of sexual harassment that can take place, as well as to investigate both the reasons that may contribute to its increasing incidence and the actions that could be done to assist prevent it from occurring at all. To do this, a review of the literature is being conducted. The outcomes of the study will help us better understand how sexual harassment impacts employees' physical and emotional health, as well as the development of preventative measures. This could lead to the collecting of information that can be used to construct anti-sexual harassment activities. Aside from this belief, the organisation expects that a better understanding and awareness in this field of study would lead to programmes that can help prevent and treat sexual harassment.
