"The under 18s were not polled, which means that younger youths may have been exposed to higher rates of verbal sexual harassment without data available," according to the respondents of the Arab Barometer.
Educational attainment does not make a difference between harassers in Iraq, with 35-36 percent of its victims having higher academic degrees or under-secondary certificates, but 38 percent of those harassed are above average.
In detail, the results of the surveys show that physical harassment in public places is more prevalent in northern Iraq, "as a result of high levels of sexual violence following the fight against ISIS in northern Iraq."
The results pointed out that "the population of Baghdad and urban residential areas and men who are most informed of verbal harassment, are the most vulnerable to sexual harassment, but the phenomenon is widespread throughout Iraq."
