Deep dives
The Shift in Social Attitudes towards Sexual Harassment
Over the past year, there has been a significant change in social attitudes towards sexual harassment and bullying. Boundaries regarding what is considered acceptable behavior have shifted, with actions such as inappropriate touching and degrading sexual banter now widely seen as unacceptable. Additionally, there has been a shift in expectations for victims, with an increasing number of people choosing to speak out against inappropriate behavior rather than remaining silent. This recalibration of social attitudes has had a profound effect on businesses, forcing them to reconsider how they handle such cases and discouraging practices like paying off perpetrators and silencing victims.
