80% of men harassed at Christmas parties

More than 80% of men have been subjected to sexual harassment during their Christmas parties and 76% report that they were too ashamed of coming forward for fear of being emasculated by their peers.

The alarming figures were revealed in a survey conducted by Peninsula Ireland which questioned 937 employers and managers regarding annual office festive activities.

The survey also found that 64% of female workers still feel that sexual harassment comes from male colleagues and not female colleagues.
