Speaking from Experience: What needs to change to address workplace sexual harassment
Microphone - Your Voice Matters
The Australian Human Rights Commission wants to hear from individuals who have been sexually harassed at work on what they think needs to change to make workplaces safer. The information gathered will help create resources to make workplaces safer for everyone.
We want to hear from young workers (aged 18-25) because they unfortunately experience higher rates of workplace sexual harassment. It's important that we listen and learn from these communities to find ways to make workplaces safer. Join us on Wednesday 7th of August, 10:00am - 12:30pm (AEST) at the University of Newcastle NUspace campus with the Centre for Law and Social Justice.
You will receive a $120 gift voucher for attendance and there will be food and drinks. Limited spaces are available.
If the session is full, and you are interested in taking part, you can email the Speaking from Experience team to find out about other ways to take part. Please email speakingfromexperience@humanrights.gov.au.
What to expect:
A group workshop, facilitated by Dr Anna Cody, the Sex Discrimination Commissioner, to discuss three key questions:
- What you think a helpful response to workplace sexual harassment would look like.
- What you think an unhelpful response to workplace sexual harassment would look like.
- What you think needs to change to address workplace sexual harassment.
You will not be asked to share your personal experience of workplace sexual harassment.
An information pack will be shared with you once you register. This will include information about the project, an agenda, and what to expect. Before you take part, we will ask for your consent to collect information you share.
