One in every three – or 36 per cent – women in India receive sexual and inappropriate calls or SMSes at least once a week, a survey has found.

Conducted by communication app Truecaller, the survey titled ‘Understanding the Impact of Harassment and Spam Calls on Women,’ showed that 78 percent of women receive harassment calls with inappropriate and sexual content, while 82 percent receive unsolicited videos and pictures with inappropriate and sexual content at least once a week.

On average, 50 percent of these calls and texts were anonymous, 11 percent were made by stalkers, and 3 percent were from a person known to them.
