A survey released this month by Women Who Tech, which includes responses from 1,003 tech employees, founders, and investors, globally found that nearly 50% of women founders and women working in tech have experienced harassment — a statistic that has barely budged since 2017.


When asked what kind of sexual harassment, 65% of women founders said they were propositioned for sex. In addition:
