A 2018 Transport Workers Union survey found that Australian airline cabin crew experience widespread sexual harassment.

65% of respondents had experienced #sexualharassment such as sexualised comments, inappropriate touching and sexual assault.

Cabin crew respondent: "We are touched on the groin and buttocks region every single day, sometimes every single flight."

Here's how @HoneyBirdette portrays female cabin crew:

Cabin crew respondent: "There is definitely a culture where crew and pilots think inappropriate comments and touching are ok."

@HoneyBirdette portrays female cabin crew as sexual playthings #sexualharassment

Cabin crew respondent: "A co-worker pinned me against the wall and felt me up."

And again from @HoneyBirdette:

"A passenger exposed himself and asked me to perform oral sex."

Advertising reducing female cabin crew to sexualised props puts these women at risk @HoneyBirdette #sexualharassment #everydaysexism
