CONSEQUÊNCIAS DO ASSÉDIO MORAL E SEXUAL SOFRIDO POR MULHERES NAS RELAÇÕES DE TRABALHO EM NAVIRAÍ.

Abstract

This paper aims to understand the consequences of cases of moral and sexual harassment suffered by women in work relationships in Naviraí-MS. To this end, a review of the literature focused on working relationships between men and women in organizations, moral and sexual harassment in organizations, and combating moral and sexual harassment in organizations. Using a qualitative and descriptive approach, semi-structured interviews were carried out with four women, between August and October 2024. The results show that the cases have similar patterns and that the consequences are serious. The victims had severe emotional problems, such as feelings of guilt, insecurity and anxiety. These experiences shaped their work expectations, imposing a distrust in new environments and a constant feeling of alert. Therefore, the reports highlight the need for more effective policies and reliable reporting systems in companies that can protect victims and hold insurers accountable. The lack of action on the part of institutions not only perpetuates the cycle of abuse but also prevents professionals from feeling safe to develop their careers without fear or shame. It is imperative to create a corporate culture that promotes respect and encourages a healthy and inclusive work environment.
