Twenty per cent of women in Moldova have been sexually harassed at their workplace, suggests a study published on Tuesday by the Partnership for Development Centre, an NGO based in Chisinau.

Of the women who said they had been harassed at work, four per cent said they had been asked for sex in return for certain rewards, intimidated or threatened with force.

Xhelili was arrested on Monday night after being shown on a local television station last week asking for sex from a 20-year-old woman who had recently been employed by the municipality.
