The U.S. women faced severe threat in terms of sexual harassment and sexual assault, with personal safety in lack of protection, said the Human Rights Record of the United States in 2018 released by China on Thursday.

They also faced obvious discrimination in employment and in workplace, said the report released by the Information Office of the State Council.

The report underlined the high occurrence rate of sexual harassment and assault against women in the United States.

There was significant wage gap between U.S. men and women. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the average gender pay gap in the United States is around 19.5 percent, and a woman earns only 80.5 percent of the wage a man earns.

The report also noted that U.S. women experienced prevalent discrimination in workplace and were increasingly discontent at their social positions.
