Sexual Harassment Easy to Happen in Summer

According to Shanghai Morning Post, mini summer dresses will sometimes bring trouble to many young ladies.

A website zhaopin.com has conducted a survey recently among more than 4,000 office employees, showing that 76.1 percent believe sexual harassment is related much with seasons, especially summer.

Furthermore, nearly 90 percent think that sexual harassment has something to do with women wearing excessively exposed dresses.

Different companies have different regulations on dresses of employees at work. Around 20 percent of companies require "males in shirts and ties and females in formal dresses" in working time. Still 20 percent ask employees to wear dresses at least with collars and sleeves. More than 30 percent permit any kinds of clothes except sun-tops and short pants. And more than 25 percent impose no restriction at all on employees' dresses.

How do employees handle sexual harassment? 43.7 percent of respondents say they will chide the activity on the spot; 18.5 percent and 15.3 percent will appeal to legal organizations and company leaders respectively; but 12.4 percent choose to resign and 10 percent to submit to humiliation.
