Stand Up To Harrassment

I want to create a culture in which standing up for those with less power, for those being mistreated, becomes something you do regardless of the cost. What do you want?

"One in four women report experiencing "sexual harassment" in the workplace, according to a June 2016 EEOC report on workplace harassment. When asked more specifically about unwanted sexual attention or sexual coercion, 40% of women reported being harassed, the report found. Additionally, almost 60% of women surveyed reported some form of gender harassment, which includes sexist, crude or offensive behavior at work...

"Instead of focusing on victim behavior, it is so much more important to educate men on coming forward and intervening when they see red flags," Mardorossian said...

More gender parity in the places where power resides: Part of ending sexual harassment toward women in the workplace means having more women in leadership roles. "If there were a lot more women in those rooms, then men would have to deal with them as equals, and not as anomalies," Friedman said."
