With sexual harassment the most common form of violence against women, and more than 40% of women in Australia having experienced it at work in the past five years, a new national campaign launches on Monday aiming to make workplace prevention of sexual harassment a national priority for employers.
The Lead the Change campaign is being launched by Assistant Minister for the Prevention of Family Violence, Justine Elliot, and CEO of Our Watch, Patty Kinnersly, at a construction site in Canberra. The campaign targets leaders of industries including construction, retail and telecommunications.
It spells out to employers that preventing harassment before it starts is the most beneficial, cost-effective path for businesses.
