State Secretary reports modest gains in recognition of sexual boundary-crossing

State Secretary for Education and Emancipation Judith Tielen observes a modest improvement in the extent to which people recognize sexually transgressive behavior.

Research conducted this year for the National Action Programme on Tackling Sexually Transgressive Behaviour and Sexual Violence (NAP) surveyed 2,372 people on the programme’s impact.

This is encouraging news and reinforces our conviction that sustained attention and a determined approach to preventing sexually transgressive behavior are of real value,” the state secretary said.

Familiarity with sexually transgressive behavior is high, the research shows.

The research further indicates that sexually transgressive behavior is discussed with growing frequency among colleagues, managers, and human resources staff.
