RESEARCH REPORT
Technical report for migrant and refugee women in Australia: A study of sexual harassment in the workplace
This is the technical report produced as part of the project Migrant and refugee women’s attitudes, experiences and responses to sexual harassment in the workplace. It offers a detailed account of the design and survey approach utilised for the 2022 Migrant and Refugee Women’s Attitudes, Experiences and Responses to Sexual Harassment in the Workplace survey undertaken by Monash University and Harmony Alliance with Griffith University. This technical report is designed to be read alongside the findings in the report Migrant and refugee women in Australia: A study of sexual harassment in the workplace to provide technical details about the survey for future research use.
The project is the first national study of migrant and refugee women’s experiences, understandings and responses to workplace sexual harassment of its type. This research was developed to support and enhance the Australian Government’s A Roadmap for Respect: Preventing and Addressing Sexual Harassment in Australian Workplaces (2021). This research fills a recognised gap in addressing the specificity of migrant and refugee women’s experiences which are not adequately captured in national data. The research is designed to inform the national response to creating safer workplaces and to offer insights into the social and systemic factors that influence how migrant and refugee women negotiate and respond to experiences of sexual harassment.
