In this article, we draw on 604 anonymous MeToo testimonies published in Iceland by women in different work sectors. Our main analytical focus is on women’s embodied experiences of sexual violations in the workplace, with an aim to explore how they tackle those violations. We use reflexive thematic analysis, and our first theme demonstrates how the women’s world and world-making capacities are perceived as shrinking as a result of harassment. This affects both their bodies and minds to the extent that they doubt their own judgment and grasp of reality. The violent acts become part of their psyche and leave them trapped in time and place. The second theme, workaround tactics for protecting their world-making capacities, describes how women seize opportunities to flag their agency even when they cannot change patriarchal strategies. The testimonies show how common and widespread women’s experiences of sexual violations are and thus call for a changed world order where men’s entitlement to women’s bodies and time in the work environment is removed.
