A violentometer for the scientific world
In 2023, the L'Oréal Foundation and IPSOS institute published an international survey of the research community in 117 countries. The survey revealed that 1 in 2 women scientists had experienced sexual harassment in the workplace. The violentometer is a tool to raise awareness of gender-based violence among people studying and/or working in the research world, and to enable them to assess their working environment.
