We are living in an extraordinary time.
Survivors of sexual violence are coming forward and some are finally being heard and believed.
And while a few powerful abusers are paying the price for their unlawful conduct, workplaces overall have been slow to respond to the structural, institutional, and cultural norms that underlie #metoo in the workplace.
But what if we could stop sexual assault and harassment in the workplace before it happens?
We can. Together.
This guide highlights the powerful strategies engaged in by activists and survivors—some of them profiled here—and the steps YOU can take, both in and out of your workplace to end sexual harassment in the world of work.
