Chakian points out that harassment can be subtle, often disguised or confused with jokes, for example.

“We think that harassment is that grotesque song, that everyone had. But it’s not always so. It only takes one look at a woman’s body, a message in a WhatsApp group, a sexist joke for it to be intimidating for many women.”

Furthermore, it is not just women who suffer from sexual and moral harassment in the workplace: “A man who admits that he has suffered sexual harassment is often ridiculed and belittled. This says a lot about machismo in our society as well”, emphasizes the specialist.
