64% of field participants reported experiencing sexual harassment, 22% report assault while in the field (Clancy et al., 2014).
Sexual harassment in fieldwork settings is a special issue, due to the often remote location, blurry boundaries, and hierarchical nature — all of which can amplify the damaging effects of sexual harassment and assault.
“Organizational climate is the single most important factor in determining whether sexual harassment is likely to happen in a work setting.”
—National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (2018)
