The #metoo movement led to a major cultural and policy shift in how sexual harassment is treated in this country. In some states, sexual harassment protections provide a path to justice. But as hosts Kimberly Brooks and Gina Brillon reveal, the changes aren’t distributed evenly. Are the current state policies sufficient to help victims of sexual harassment feel safe at their workplaces? And what happens if they’re not?
For support and resources to address workplace sexual harassment or facilitate training to create a positive and safe culture for all employees – check out these resources: Shiso Consulting, Women Against Abuse, Stop Street Harassment, National Women’s Law Center, Legal Center for Gender Equity, and RAINN or call the 24-hour sexual assault hotline: 800-656-HOPE.
The mission of Women Against Abuse is to provide quality, compassionate, and nonjudgmental services in a manner that fosters self-respect and independence in persons experiencing intimate partner violence and to lead the struggle to end domestic violence through advocacy and community education.
The National Women’s Law Center’s lawyers and advocates are in court, in Congress, and on the front lines relentlessly fighting for access to abortion, to protect women and girls from sexual violence, to defend their rights to health care, and to secure equality in the workplace and schools.
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation's largest anti-sexual violence organization. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline (800.656.HOPE, online.rainn.org y rainn.org/es).
