When the harassment is severe or comes from a supervisor, women may feel more compelled to report it. However, when the harassment is mild, women may not want to draw attention to themselves or feel that reporting it will not lead to any meaningful action. Similarly, if the workplace does not have clear policies and procedures for reporting and addressing sexual harassment, women may not feel confident that their report will be taken seriously or that they will be protected from retaliation.
