A just-released survey conducted in the Cayman Islands has found that about half of the people questioned have been stalked and two out of five respondents have suffered sexual harassment.
The Young Business and Professional Women’s Club (Young BPW) Sexual Harassment and Stalking Taskforce announced the publication of the report, which was completed in April.
Taskforce Chair Joannah Bodden-Small noted that a high number of respondents had experienced inappropriate behavior.
“In the lead-up to launching the survey, members of the taskforce were aware that there were people experiencing stalking and/or sexual harassment in the Cayman Islands, and so in that respect the results of the survey were not surprising in confirming those facts,” she said. “However, what did give cause for concern is the large number of men and women who, based on the results of the survey, are experiencing these issues in the Cayman Islands,” Mrs Bodden-Small added.
