Welcome to Episode 2 where we do a deep-dive into sexual harassment in the workplace. We discuss our own experiences with workplace harassment (sexual and otherwise), how it has affected us and explore the current statistics for sexual harassment across  different groups, including BIPOC / BAMER, LGBTQ+ and disabled women. We also give suggestions for reporting harassment and how companies can safeguard their employees.
