WOMEN IN THE WORK ENVIRONMENT
Over the past few decades, women have made significant
progress in the fight for workplace equality. However, it wasn't
until the 1970s that women were allowed to apply for credit cards
without male guarantors, and they could legally be fired for being
pregnant.

Today, we know that companies with more gender diversity in

managerial roles are 63% more productive than those with male-
dominated management, which makes workplace equality even
more essential. Sexism and patriarchal attitudes still exist, and
they can have a life of their own. Although these attitudes may
stem from a patriarchal history, in today's culture, sometimes
men may show less sexist attitudes than some women. Despite
the progress made, women still face gender-specific challenges in
the workplace.
 WORKPLACE CHALLENGES
Some states require paid maternity or parental leave, but there is no federal law
PARENTAL LEAVE mandating it. This can negatively impact women, who may struggle to care for
AND STEREOTYPING their newborns and return to work. Employers may also be biased against
younger women, even if they offer paid family leave.

Sexual harassment can happen to anyone at the workplace, regardless of gender.

SEXUAL HARASSMENT Women are not the only ones who face this problem, but the number of women
IN THE WORKPLACE who have experienced it is alarming.

Many women have experienced the phenomenon of men assuming they are less
UNDERESTIMATION informed and behaving as though they are the experts, due to sexism. It's a
problem for women in the workplace, especially younger ones, who struggle to be
taken seriously even on topics they're experts on.
 STATISTICS ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE AGAINST
WOMEN WORKERS
According to a report by Perempuan Mahardhika in 2017, revealing that out of
773 women workers in KBN Cakung, 437 had experienced sexual violence in one
form or another. The survivors of sexual violence included women who had
suffered verbal sexual harassment, physical sexual harassment, or both.
Shockingly, the report found that 252 women had experienced both types of
harassment. The report also disclosed that 66 percent (or 290 women) had been
subjected to unwanted sexual contact, while 32 percent (or 139 women) had been
groped by their supervisors. In addition, some women workers were hugged
against their will. These alarming statistics show that sexual violence is a serious
problem that is affecting a large number of women workers, and it is crucial that
measures are taken to prevent it from happening in the workplace.

 Conclusion
Sexual violence is a pervasive issue plaguing women workers in
Indonesia. Statistics reveal a shocking number of women experiencing
harassment and abuse. Workplace cultures built on patriarchal norms
and a lack of awareness exacerbate the problem. Ethical considerations
require employers and coworkers to foster safe environments, while
cultural sensitivity is crucial in addressing the stigma surrounding
reporting.
The impact on women's well-being necessitates prevention strategies
like education programs and strong policies. Ultimately, a collaborative
effort by government, society, and advocacy groups is essential to enact
legal frameworks, shift cultural attitudes, and create a safe and
respectful work environment for all.
