Léonie Broquedis-Gouix
Léonie Broquedis-Gouix is a trainer and consultant. Thanks to her theoretical expertise and her deep knowledge of sexist and sexual violence in the workplace, she addresses these issues in a concrete and understandable way.
Three in five women (58%) say they have been sexually harassed, bullied or verbally abused at work. Even half of women (52%) aged 18-34 say they have been harassed by a third party at work (TUC, 2023). Yet for a long time, sexism was considered a form of humor and sexual harassment a "private matter" that should not concern the company. Since then, figures and testimonies have raised awareness of the extent of this violence, and employers have been reminded of their legal obligations.
