Abstract

Sexual harassment of trained women nurses in hospitals is not a new issue, but has until recently been a hidden silent one. During the last few years slowly the problem has become more serious which should be understood. This paper uses a literature review to explore the level of sexual harassment that trained women nurses face in their workplace. The paper concludes that employers and law should take up some more measures to help working women to get rid of this serious threat.
