Nearly a third of female surgeons in Britain have been sexually assaulted by a colleague in the past five years, according to a study published Tuesday and described as a 'MeToo moment' for surgery.
Analyzing over 1,400 responses to an anonymous onlineamong UK surgical workforce members, the study found that 29.9 percent of women reported being sexually assaulted by a colleague over the last five years compared to 6.9 percent of the men.
The survey also showed that 63.3 percent of women polled said they experienced being sexually harassed by colleagues as did 23.7 percent of the men. "These findings show that women and men in the surgical workforce are living different realities. For women, being around colleagues is more often going to mean witnessing, and being a target of, sexual misconduct," the study said.
According to the survey, close to 90 percent of women and 81 percent of men said they had witnessed sexual harassment among colleagues over the five year period. Alongside instances of rape at work, the study found that survey participants"reported rape by colleagues in other work-related contexts, including teaching spaces, conferences, and after-work events with colleagues".
