Sexual Harassment between Doctors

A third of doctors around the world have experienced sexual harassment by a colleague. Often, harassment occurs while they are still in training, and it is more likely to be experienced by doctors who live with multiple marginalisations. However, sexual harassment remains a taboo subject within medicine. 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 in locations ranging 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.
