Sexual Harassment
[This section is to be administered by female enumerators for female participant and by male enumerators for male
participants]
Enumerator: I now want to ask you about certain behaviour that has happened to women and men in the Maldives,
and may have happened to you. In each case, I will ask if the behaviour has ever happened to you, and also if it has
happened during the past two years. I want to remind you that this interview is confidential. However, you do not
have to answer any questions you do not want to. Some questions may be difficult to answer, but many women have
found it useful to have the opportunity to talk about these things.
