Collusion in sexual harassment can be done by creating or participating in a working environment that that is intimidating, hostile or offensive towards anyone on the grounds of their sex. A company which allows lewd or obscene behaviour or remarks on a day to day basis is encouraging an atmosphere in which members of the opposite sex are continually annoyed because of their sex.
In a survey - which included an equal percentage of men and women - of employees of Japanese government agencies, 17% of female employees said their male bosses had demanded sexual relations, and 6.2% were raped or suffered sexual violence. More than 70% of the women said they were subjected to sexual jokes, and 67% said they were victims of unwanted physical contact.
