In the Indian context too the findings are found to stand true. Ranjana says, "It's a well-established fact since years women are more sexually-harassed. The prime concern for most women is that they are able to sustain their jobs and thus never speak-out about it."

"Also a woman realises that if she protests there are chances that her character would be put to question, so she puts up with the harassment," adds Ranjana.

The study also highlights a strong link between sexual harassment and mental health problems.

"People who behave in this manner may not have any actual mental problems but they are unable to respect the other person," says Samir.

He adds ‘the person inclined towards sexual harassment has a coveted type of mind-set. Bringing the other person at par with the rest of colleagues becomes difficult for him.’
