Make workplaces safe from sexual harassment: a petition signed by survivors demanding the law change - Action Network actionnetwork.org/petitions/make…
Sexual harassment at work is not just an HR issue. It is a workplace safety issue.
The HSE is consulting on RIDDOR, and this is a chance to say sexual harassment must be recognised, reported and prevented.

#EndNotDefend
⚠️ Trigger warning: sexual harassment.
Almost 10 million workers are sexually harassed at work every year. The law is failing workers, reporting still isn't safe, and the burden shouldn't fall on those who've already been harmed.
Image reproduced with the permission of Sheffield Archives (5WCC/A/6/12). The cartoon was produced for WASH and published jointly as one of three postcards by Everywoman magazine and Wildcat Cards in 1992.
In 1992, Women Against Sexual Harassment helped over 400 women in a single year — with thousands more calling their phone line. Decades on, the fight is the same. 🧵
Thanks to Janet, our brilliant trustee, and to Chorley Trades Council for inviting End Not Defend to talk about stopping the millions of cases of workplace sexual harassment that happen every year - destroyed livelihoods and health.
"I have lost a job I loved, a job that I was good at, where I made a difference, through no fault of my own."
For victims of workplace sexual harassment, speaking up costs everything.
Help us make the system work for survivors, not against them. #EndNotDefend
"My employer has a policy in the health care system, they never enacted it, there's been no consequences." This is why reporting still isn't safe. Words on paper mean nothing without accountability. Help us push for real consequences
End sexual harassment in work - no worker should accept harassment of any sort - it undermines your health and wellbeing it makes you ill - its abuse,!it’s bullying and it’s only steps away from sexual harassment . It must not be tolerated and your union must defend the victim. Well done to those campaigning on this issue - it’s important.
"My employer made it very clear - protect the abuser. And if you're a victim? Don't bother coming forward."
This is why survivors stay silent at work. And why we're fighting to change it. Sexual harassment must be treated like any work safety issue and prevented #EndNotDefend
@kateevelynber@workerspolicy@rightsofwomen We need employers to treat it like any other safety risk and put in place controls before women are assaulted. This would begin to eliminate it from the workplace.
