Nearly two-thirds of young women say they have endured bullying, sexual harassment or verbal abuse in the workplace, according to damning new research.

Around three in five of those polled (58 per cent) reported experiencing such mistreatment at work, rising to 62 per cent among women aged between 25 and 34.

The TUC said its survey of 1,000 women found most victims don’t report incidents because they fear they won’t be believed or it could damage their career.
