Approximately 15 million adolescent girls (aged 15 to 19) worldwide have experienced forced sex at some point in their life.

45% to 55% of women have experienced sexual harassment since the age of 15 in the European Union.

Most cases of sexual assault and abuse often begin with harassment and then further escalate into an abusive event.

With this in mind, it is therefore important for us to understand:

• What sexual harassment is.
• Causes of sexual harassment.
• Effects of sexual harassment.
• Prevention of sexual harassment.
