- Other characteristics
- The Indicator is based on eight questions to be included in a household survey. These questions can be part of an add-on module on physical and sexual harassment, to be incorporated into other ongoing general population surveys (such as surveys on quality of life, public attitudes or surveys on other topics) or be part of dedicated surveys on crime victimization.
Data should be collected as part of a nationally representative probability sample of the adult population residing in the country, irrespective of legal residence status. The sampling frame and sample design should ensure that results can be disaggregated at the sub-national level. The sample size should be sufficiently large to capture relevant events and compute needed disaggregations.
- Classification used
- Sexual harassment refers to behavior with a sexual connotation that is suitable to intimidate their victims.
Physical harassment refers to all other harassing behaviors that can cause fear for physical integrity and/or emotional distress.
- Disaggregation
- is by perpetrator and by place of occurrence.
- Key statistical concepts
- The number of persons who experienced a form of physical harassment and/or sexual harassment, divided by the total population. The result would be multiplied by 100.
