Research findings show that women are most likely to experience sexual harassment, while other vulnerable populations such as the LGBTQ2S community are also at increased risk of being harassed in the workplace and elsewhere.
It is important to create a safe working environment for everyone while paying particular attention to the experiences of workers who might be doubly disadvantaged.
For example, when victimization is based on gender identity or gender expression, it often overlaps with other forms of marginalization based on race, disability, age, social condition, nationality, immigration status, ethnicity, place of origin, and so on.
This Project recognizes the importance of identifying such intersectionality and addressing harassment in a holistic, collaborative and trauma-informed fashion.
