Women are more likely than men to experience sexual harassment and often change their behaviour to avoid risks in their daily life, according to a new survey of nearly 35,000 people in EU countries. A stunning 83% of women between the ages of 16 and 39 will change where they go or limit who they are with in order to avoid violence and harassment, restricting their own freedoms to protect themselves, the crime survey, from the EU's Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) revealed. Some 39% of women in this age group change their behaviour for fear of assault or harassment all the time. Around 41 % of women at least sometimes avoid being alone with someone they know, for fear of assault or harassment, compared with 25 % of men, the survey showed.
