Sexual harassment, abuse and discrimination in obstetrics and gynecology: A systematic review (8 May 2024)

Summary

This systematic review aimed to find out the prevalence of sexual harassment, bullying, abuse, workplace discrimination and other forms of harassment among medical students, residents, fellows and attending physicians in obstetrics and gynaecology. It found that many of these behaviours were frequent among respondents of the ten studies used in the review. The findings suggest that there is high prevalence of harassment in obstetrics and gynaecology despite the field being female-dominant for the last decade.
