Our work in building out the resources per industry are just getting started. We’d love your help in building out resources tailored to each industry.

 

Key STATISTICS

  • One recent study found that 35% of female lawyers have been sexually harassed at work and 70% of female lawyers reported hearing sexist comments, stories, or jokes at work.

  • According to the International Bar Association (IBA), one in three male lawyers surveyed has been bullied at work, and one in 14 has been sexually harassed.

  • The study also found underreporting to be prevalent. Nearly 77% of female harassment victims and 88% of male victims never reported the incident.

 
“I wouldn’t be surprised if the next industry to see a #MeToo movement would be in the legal industry.”
— Julia Pollak, a labor economist at the online employment marketplace
