Sexual abuse of men on rise in HK: Poll

HONG KONG: If you thought sexual harassment happened only to women, then it is time to think again, a recent survey has revealed.

According to research by the Kowloon Federation of Associations (KFA), while both sexes show an equally high awareness of the subject, in Hong Kong, more men (30.8 percent) than women (19 percent) have suffered verbal harassment such as sexual joking, indiscrete conversations or explicit comments about their figures.

For both men and women, 67 percent of victims said they had reported such incidents.
