Summary:We describe our work on The Global Survey of Scientists and examine men’s and women’s experiences with sexual harassment. We use multivariate models in our analyses to account for possible confounding variables. Our model accounts for gender, discipline, age, employment sector, geographic region, and level of human development. Taking all these factors into consideration, we find that women are 14.4 times more likely than men to indicate having personally encountered sexual harassment at school or work. We take a closer look at potential differences in discipline, employment sector, geographic region, and level of development.
