The Education Team Expands its Equal Access Focus
We are proud to support the Human Rights Team efforts on behalf of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign. This campaign will shine light on how sexual harassment and sexual assault in the workplace deny women equal access to a non-threatening/safe workplace, as well as affecting opportunity.

Human Rights Team Update: The 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign
The theme for the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence Campaign, November 25-December 10, was recently released: “End Gender-Based Violence in the World of Work.” With the recent #MeToo Movement, the conflict over allegations against US Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, and the increased focus on sexual harassment and sexual assault in the workplace, the theme is timely.
Because of the complexity and importance of this topic and its relevance to all of us, the Team will focus the entire year between the 2018 and the 2019 16 Days Campaigns on raising awareness of the problem of workplace harassment and violence, but also trying to get to the root of gender-based violence and seeking remedies. This sustained focus through the various annual activities the Team supports will allow for groups and individuals to plan their participation more easily, since you won't be limited to a specific timeframe.
