CONCLUSIONS Statistics show an elevated incidence rate of antisocial behaviours over the female workers. In spite of this information, some experts indicate that we only know the iceberg´s top, because we are in front of a hidden crime, it means, a crime that we know and it is denounced only in a few occasions and, therefore, it is very difficult to discover the real numbers. We are in front of an important social and labour problem. This is causing very serious damages in the health of women and it is a barrier to achieve the equality of rights and opportunities between men and women. To know better its regulatory framework, and the typology of real cases analyzed, could allow us to combat the causes.
