Preventing sexism and sexual violence in the workplace
Preventing sexism and sexual violence in the workplace
Three in five (58%) women say they have experienced sexual harassment, bullying or verbal abuse at work. Even half of women (52%) aged 18 to 34 say they have experienced harassment from a third party at work (TUC, 2023).
Yet, sexism was long considered a form of humor, and sexual harassment a "private issue" that did not concern companies. Since then, figures and testimonies have raised awareness on the extent of this violence and employers have been reminded of their legal obligations.
In this workshop, based on concrete examples, you will learn to distinguish the different forms of sexist behavior and sexual violence in the workplace, and to identify the right and wrong ways to react when you are witness or confidants of a victim.
