Workplace sexual harassment is unwanted behaviour of a sexual nature that violates a worker’s dignity or creates an intimidating, hostile, degrading, humiliating or offensive environment. It is recognised under multiple international agreements and laws as sex discrimination, and must be eliminated in creating gender equal societies and workplaces.
In a 4 nation approach to eradicate sexual harassment in the workplace across the UK, Chwarae Teg, Fawcett Society, WRDA and Close the Gap have come together to create a UK wide campaign for change.
A toolkit of employer-focused resources has been created, supporting employers to be more proactive in their efforts towards eradicating sexual harassment in the workplace.
The toolkit will:
- Help employers understand what is sexual harassment
- Provide confidence and skills to tackle sexual harassment at work
- Develop stand-alone anti-sexual harassment polices
- Create harassment free cultures within their organisations
