Findings outlined in the Scottish Police Authority's latest paper follows Chief Constable Sir Iain Livingstone's admission last week that the force is 'institutionally racist and discriminatory'.
The new report contained the results of an anonymous online survey, which received 528 responses and found that 81% agree sexism and misogyny is an issue in the force.
Respondents described"having a target on your back" when raising issues and grievances, being labelled a"troublemaker" and"red-marked" during their career. Others described being overlooked for promotion due to maternity and told they had forfeited their policing career by having families.The report said there have been particular improvements since the early 2000s but there are still areas that need improvement.
