The major aim of this feminist ethnography is to explore
the experiences of sexual harassment of female nurses in
Sindh Pakistan, as well as to explore the coping
strategies. This research was conducted using feminist
methodology. Qualitative methods were used as a mode
of investigation. In-depth qualitative interviews were
used to collect data from thirty-one female nurses from
Sindh. The findings of this study help in uncovering the
underlying discourses of sexual harassment; including
prevailing ideas about gender, sexuality, femininity and
appropriate behavior in Sindh and give a greater
understanding of nurses’ working environment in Sindh.
The findings of the study indicated that sexual
harassment is common in the hospital environment,
particularly during the night duties. They also show that
the most common perpetrators of all types of harassment
were junior doctors, followed by male patients and their
relatives in the wards and in the surroundings of the
hospitals. Hence, there is a culture of acceptance
regarding such harassment, combined with a lack of
awareness of how to effectively deal with. The results of
this study suggest that there is a possibility of significant
under-reporting of sexual harassment. The study will
make available contribution towards feminist research
