This study analyzes in-person, online, and hybrid victimization using microdata from the EU-GBV survey (2021) across 17 countries, applying multilevel logistic models. The official indicator identifies that 31.6% of women have experienced harassment. In-person harassment is prevalent, whereas online victimization disproportionately affects the young cohort (18\u201334 years). Significant between-country variation is observed, indicating the influence of the national context in shaping risk. Among women under 35, urban environment and country-of-origin dynamics are relevant exposure factors. The findings show high recurrence (57.8%), low formal reporting (1.7%), and insufficient organizational preparedness (23.4% with training available). Digitalization expands the repertoire of violence without displacing its structural foundations. We conclude that there is a need to implement integrated prevention and intervention systems that address hybrid risk through a gender-sensitive perspective and a multivariable multilevel analysis attentive to intersecting axes, with models centered on main effects and the young cohort treated as an analytical stratification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs16081309","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,3]],"date-time":"2026-08-03T01:43:27Z","timestamp":1785721407000},"page":"1309","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["In-Person and Online Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Against Women in Europe: A Structural Multilevel Analysis and the Aggravated Risk of the Young Cohort"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1495-7861","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cristina","family":"Cuenca-Piqueras","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, Research Center for the Study of Migration and Intercultural Relations (CEMyRI), University of Almeria, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2224-157X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mar\u00eda Jos\u00e9","family":"Gonz\u00e1lez-Moreno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, Research Center for the Study of Migration and Intercultural Relations (CEMyRI), University of Almeria, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7419-3998","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juan S.","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Prados","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Sociology, Research Center for the Study of Migration and Intercultural Relations (CEMyRI), University of Almeria, 04120 Almeria, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"322","DOI":"10.1177\/26318318211047832","article-title":"The cyber avatar of sexual harassment at the workplace: Media analysis of reports during COVID-19","volume":"3","author":"Ahuja","year":"2021","journal-title":"Journal of Psychosexual Health"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Almeida, A.
