Make your workplace a safer place for people experiencing gender-based violence.
People don’t often talk about gender-based violence, and don’t always know how to respond to it, but it can show up in our everyday lives; even at work.
Abuse can happen between coworkers, between supervisors and employees, and between workers and customers. Abuse that happens at home can also affect the person being abused as they try to work.
81.6% of people who have experienced gender-based violence share what they are going through with coworkers.
Employee groups, HR professionals and workplace leaders have an important role to play in addressing gender-based violence. We can make every workplace a safer place for people experiencing abuse.
