FLEX and LAWRS response to the Government Equalities Office Consultation on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

October 2019

A joint response from Focus on Labour Exploitation and Latin American Women’s Rights Service to the Government Equalities Office Consultation on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace. The response highlights the importance of taking into account outsourced, agency and self-employed workers when introducing a preventative duty for employers on sexual harassment. It also emphasises the need for sexual harassment in the workplace to be addressed not as an isolated issue but in the broader context of labour abuse and exploitation of women at work.
