“It’s not for us to have shame, it’s for them” Gisèle Pelicot
Every year almost 10 million workers are sexually harassed, from inappropriate comments to rape.
The Government must act - if you've been sexually harassed at work, sign our petition, workers must be protected.

Govt partnerships with the hospitality sector to get young people into work is hugely welcome. Whilst most employers have brilliant records on keeping staff safe & treating them with respect reports of bullying and harassment in a select few should not go overlooked. 1/2

These figures are shocking.
72% of ground staff and 71% of cabin crew report verbal abuse at least every month. Even more alarming, 31% of ground staff and 42% of cabin crew say they have experienced physical assault. No worker should face abuse simply for doing their job. 1/2

"For some victims, sexual harassment ensures that they cant work in that sector. It doesn't just destroy livelihoods, it destroys lives"
Thank you, @johnmcdonnellMP for setting out the next steps for how we get to proper protections from sexual harassment, where unions and politicians work together on this vital issue

Brilliant workshop from Janet @hazardscampaign who has been highlighting the preventable risks that make sexual harassment more likely in the workplace.
Thank you, Ranjit @unionsolicitors for your session on the new prevention laws, how to apply it and where it falls short
Huge thanks to Dr Bob Jeffery and Dr Ruth Beresford for presenting their new research on how we understand workplace sexual harassment.
Which can sometimes be deliberately hard to recognise.
Huge thanks to Kate Bell, Assistant General Secretary @The_TUC for opening our conference on workplace sexual harassment
Delighted to have the support of @AndreaEganGS for End Not Defend! It is time to build workplaces free from sexual harassment, where safety and dignity are guaranteed for every worker.

Today marks the anniversary of Suzy Lamplugh's disappearance. Had proper risk assessments been in place, the tragedy might have been avoided. Forty years on, protections for workers are still not fit for purpose.
If you've been sexually harassed at work, sign the petition below.
Thank you to every campaigner & activist who joined us last week in the heat to demand workplace sexual harassment is recognised as a reportable injury - the only way we'll prevent the #1 cause of workplace harm in the UK #EndNotDefend #WorkerRights
