Apparently most women feel their careers have been held back and that they have faced discrimination at work because of their gender.

The findings come from a survey of 2,000 women by employment law firm Peninsula. It found that more than four out of five women said they simply wouldn't bother reporting harassment at work - because they didn't think they'd be believed.

Peninsula spokesman Peter Done told Ananova:

"Employers must make sure they take positive assertive actions to create a company culture which makes it clear discrimination won't be tolerated."
