Book description

Sexual harassment between doctors is a common problem hiding in plain sight. There have been prevalence studies across the world, across contexts and across disciplines and although definitions,methodologies and results vary, the prevalence of sexual harassment inmedicine continues to be unacceptedly high.Harassment is more common when the survivor is still in training, and it is more likely to be experienced by doctors who live with multiple marginalisations. This book combines expert analysis and commentary from multiple interdisciplinary perspectives. It privileges the voices of survivors, whose rich experience helps to inform our understanding of a complex problem. With contributing authors from Austria to Zambia, the book spans multiple languages, sociocultural contexts, and academic disciplines and offers unique globally contextualised perspectives. It gives leaders, scholars and survivors a nuanced, holistic understanding of sexual harms between doctors, and it demonstrates how silence prevents effective evidence-based management of sexual harassment. This volume not only helps to break the silence, it also offers potential solutions in discrete cultural contexts. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.
