Conclusion

Particularly in the context of attention, legal action, and awareness campaigns, data,

research, and experience reveal that harassment is still a severe and pervasive problem in

practically all types of organizations and workplaces. Sexual harassment harms the person's

life, general wellbeing, freedom, and careers of numerous victims, and costs organizations

not only in legal expenditures, but also in productivity loss, self-esteem, confidence, and

ambition, according to our findings. The interaction of power and gender that exists in almost

every sector of the economy at virtually every level is what sexual harassment is all about.

Women of lower status are the most common targets of sexual harassment by perpetrators

who are typically males of higher status across all industries, however sexual harassment is

not restricted to this dynamic. Men, particularly those who do not conform to traditional

masculine stereotypes, as well as individuals who are perceived as outsiders, such as LGBTQ

and gender nonconforming people, are frequently targeted, and women can be harassers. A

sexually harassing culture might become so commonplace that no one notices or objects

because they are afraid of being labelled a troublemaker and losing their job or standing.

Victims of online harassment may experience stress, fear, and anger, and may feel

compelled to do the same to others, or even commit suicide. Furthermore, there is a type of

online harassment known as cyberbullying (Cross, 2014), in which a person or group bullies

someone via the internet and other electronic communication channels along with other social

media platforms. Cyberbully may make derogatory comments, record audio or video of

someone, and then broadcast it online without the victim's agreement in order to insult or

harass them and make themselves appear superior. Therefore, this type of harassment is

severe because many abusers are unable to control or stop their habits, perhaps because they

too have been victims of harassment and can't forget about it, which is why they are doing it
to others. Being a victim of this type of abuse can occur everywhere on the Internet, but you

might be surprised at some of the most prevalent sites where harassment occurs.

Based on the newly released survey of UNICEF, the United Nations organization that

works to protect the rights of children. One in every three young people in 30 nations claims

to have been the target of online bullying, with one in every five pupils reporting that

cyberbullying and violence led them to skip school. According to the report, cyber violence

affects approximately half of all children aged 13 to 17 in the Philippines. Both Males and

Females experience cyber violence on a regular basis (43 percent). Children's violence, in all

forms, including online bullying and cyberbullying, has a negative impact on young people's

physical and emotional well-being. In the United States, the 18 U.S. Code contains Cyber

Harassment Laws. The federal offense of stalking has been expanded to encompass actions

conducted online to harass, injure, harm, or intimidate a person, according to Code Section

2261A. The Republic Act 11313: Safe Spaces Act, which was passed in Metro Manila on

July 23, 2018, defines gender-based sexual harassment in streets, public spaces, online,

workplaces, and educational or training institutions, as well as providing preventive measures

and prescribing punishments.
