2024 #METOO HARASSMENT STUDY
Forthcoming in September 2024
In both 2018 and 2024, Dr. Raj led a nationwide survey research on sexual harassment and assault in the United States, known as the #MeToo Survey. This work provides the most comprehensive statistics on sexual harassment available for the United States and includes assessment of sexual harassment and assault in public spaces and in the workplace. In 2018, we also included a California #MeToo Survey, and in 2024, we included state #MeToo Surveys for California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The original 2018 #MeToo Survey found that over 80% of women in the United States have experienced sexual harassment, with these experiences most often occurring in public spaces and perpetrated by strangers. We also found that more than one-third of women in the United States has experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual assault, in contrast, is more likely to occur in private spaces and perpetrated by a partner, friend, or acquaintance. Findings from the 2018 #MeToo Survey were featured by the New York Times and other media outlets.
