Research Project on Perceptions and Experiences of Workplace Violence and Harassment

The research titled “Perceptions and Experiences of Workplace Violence and Harassment”, led by Prof. H. Canan Sümer, Dean of the Faculty of Social Sciences, coordinated by Dr. Oğuz Can Ok, Social Sustainability Consultant at the Sustainability Platform, and involving academics from different disciplines as researchers, has been awarded support by the ILO. The project involves a household survey to be conducted in Istanbul with a sample size of 3,000 individuals. The survey is intended to examine the types and frequency of workplace violence and harassment experienced by women and men, attitudes of employers towards these situations, and coping strategies. Covering a broad spectrum of subjects in particular physical, psychological, sexual, and economic violence and harassment, the research aims to both reveal the current situation and guide the development of preventive programs and policies. Within this framework, the research is one of the first studies to be conducted in this field in Turkey.
