For too long individual women have carried the burden of managing sexual harassment & assault in their places of work. It is too often that victims of harassment & assault lose their jobs, their income, their standing - rather than perpetrators.
It is critical and overdue that employers assume active responsibility not just for managing sexual harassment after it occurs but preventing and eliminating it. Providing a complaints mechanism after the fact is not good enough.
The Federal government's commitment to making all workplaces safer for women will be judged on whether it commits to four substantive changes in the Respect@Work report that will strengthen health and safety laws and lead to meaningful reform.
Today I stand proudly alongside @MicheleONeilAU @TanjaKovac @FairAgenda @BroadAgenda5050 @percapita @genderequityvic @Rubenstein_Kim1 to
make 4 clear demands for what the Federal Government needs to do immediately to make workplaces safer for all women. #EnoughIsEnough
