Me Too? Yes, Me Too! Sexual Harassment of Female Expatriates in China’s Overseas Enterprises
The launch of the Belt and Road Initiative has helped many Chinese enterprises expand their international businesses. However, persistent sexual harassment in the country’s overseas enterprises remains a challenge. Through in-depth interviews with Chinese female expatriates who have worked in the country’s overseas enterprises in developing countries, this study found that female expatriates frequently encountered sexual harassment and other forms of genderbased prejudice from both home and host countries. We point out that the lack of organizational gender consciousness and mechanisms to address gender inequality contribute to women’s vulnerability to gender-based workplace hostility. Thus, it is necessary for Chinese enterprises to reassess their organizational policies and cultures when expanding their international horizons to create more inclusive workplace environments. We also argue that enhanced organizational policies and mechanisms against gender discrimination would help degender organizations and empower women in the workplace
