Sexual assault and harassment persist throughout institutions and present yet another set of obstacles to women’s advancement. And though there are laws that protects women in the workplace, one study found that 34% of female employees say they have been sexually harassed by a colleague.

In AAUW’s survey, 38% of women who’d been harassed said it contributed to their decision to leave a job early, and 37% said it disrupted their career advancement. When women decrease their hours or leave their job to avoid a harasser, it reduces their wages and ability to save and build wealth.
