Survey Analysis on Sexual Abuse and Harassment: A comprehensive study in understanding sexual abuse and the role of justice system

In the paper, we have surveyed 500+ with a median age group of 20 years-29 years and about 70.63% identify as female people for sexual abuse and harassment which are further analyzed by Confidence Interval, two-sample t-test and Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA). And the results will be shown in the conclusion. This study is based on a primary survey of 500+ individuals on the common people’s general opinion on the reporting and justice system pertaining to their understanding and/or personal experiences with sexual abuse and harassment. The study also focuses on the kind of abuse faced by respondents, the severity of it, and the reporting experience and further expectations. The study begins with Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA) of the data and progresses further into confidence interval and testing to evaluate and understand people’s perspective. Throughout history, women have experienced a wide range of life experiences, from the respect and glory they enjoyed in the Vedic period to the struggles for equality and survival in contemporary times. Despite these changes, women have consistently faced a disadvantaged status, including various forms of violence, physical abuse, and denial of basic rights. This includes physical and verbal abuse such as eve-teasing, molestation, sexual abuse, and rape. Many sexual abuse and harassment issues go unreported and unresolved even in our modern society. The study also tries to draw light on the unreported incidents, perhaps understanding the ratio of reported to unreported cases.
