AS IT IS 2016-03-02 Third of Japanese Working Women Report Harassment 1 报告称约1/3日本职业女性遭遇性骚扰


A Japanese government study reports almost one-third of women say they have been sexually harassed 2 at work.


The women said they had suffered from unwanted physical contact, insulting comments and other harassment.


It is the first government study of the sexual harassment of Japanese women at work. It was released Tuesday.


Researchers said more than 9,600 women employees answered questions by mail or online. They said 18 percent of the women who were asked to take part in the study agreed to do so.


29 percent of those who answered said they suffered sexual harassment at work.


54 percent of that group said their face, body or age was discussed.


40 percent said they suffered unwanted touching 3.


38 percent were asked sexually related questions.


27 percent were asked to eat a meal together or go on a date.


Researchers said they also reported receiving many complaints from pregnant women who said they were bullied 4 into quitting their jobs.


In many Japanese companies, women and men are treated differently. Gender 5 roles remain traditional in Japan, observers say.
