In a 2021 sectoral brief, the International Labour Organization said that the use of subcontracting in the meat processing sector, a common practice in Spain, risked leaving workers vulnerable to exploitative working conditions including sexual harassment and abuse by line managers.
One of the few attempts to quantify harassment in the industry comes from Iowa in the US, where, in 2009, a non-profit carried out an informal survey of 100 women working at meatpacking plants. An analysis of their responses suggested 41% had experienced unwanted touching, while 30% had received sexual propositions.
