THE Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) has kicked off a campaign to expose the extent of sexual harassment in the workplace. 

As part of 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the STUC women’s committee has launched a survey calling for women in Scotland to share their experiences of harassment at work as part of the research.   

It comes as a TUC report revealed that more than half of women across Britain have experienced sexual harassment at work.
