80% men 'overly cautious' with women at work after MeToo, shows study
In
the wake of the #MeToo
movement, almost 80 per cent of men have become overly cautious in
their interactions with women colleagues, according to a report.
The
study by market research and analysis company Velocity MR, which had over 2,500
respondents across Mumbai, Delhi, Bengaluru, Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Chennai,
noted that eight out of 10 people said that formal workplace interactions have
been highly impacted as a result of the movement.
It
found that close to 80 per cent of the respondents said fear of losing their
career, family reputation, social stigma, and scepticism could be some of the
reasons for the victims not reporting the cases earlier.
Also,
around 70 per cent of the respondents agreed that even after reporting the
cases, victims still face threats.
The
study further observed that close to 50 per cent of the respondents disapproved
of victims reporting the abuse later, while two in five males supported the
victims saying they are right in reporting the abuse later. Read
