Beyond the tip of the iceberg: Exploring the mismatch between perceived and actual sexual harassment experiences by working females in Indian healthcare settings
A significant gap between perceived and actual SH shatters the myth of female healthcare workers being most educated in India. There is a need for focused education and training on sexual harassment knowledge and prevention. Enforcing existing regulations, creating supportive and safe workplace environments, and providing accessible reporting mechanisms are essential to address this issue and protect the rights of female healthcare workers.
