A Survey of Christian Women

In a ministry setting, I have personally experienced:
  • gender discrimination - 25%
  • demeaning comments – 19%
  • suggestive jokes – 18%
  • glances with sexual overtones – 16%
  • touching or sexual contact – 15%
  • a hostile environment – 14%

About half of those who have personally experienced sexual harassment said they did not report it because they didn't want to cause controversy. About 30% confronted the perpetrator, 28% reported it to their supervisor, 21% quit, and 1% took legal action.
