A new report by Australia’s National Research Organisation for Women’s Safety - or ANROWS - has found 46% of the more than 850 migrant and refugee women surveyed, reported experiencing workplace sexual harassment in the past five years. The report says there is little accountability for perpetrators, and that migrant and refugee women confronting sexual harassment are often placed in an impossible situation. Catriona Stirrat spoke to ANROWS CEO Tessa Boyd-Caine about the issue, and what can be done to address it.
