Fantastic working with The Suzy Lamplugh Trust and Baroness Carmen Smith on amendments to the Employment Rights Bill- tackling the high rates of sexual harrasement in the workplace is early intervention that would have a huge impact on violence against women and girls.

As well as making workplace sexual harrasment a health & safety issue, amendments also call for anonymous reporting.
This is so important given that so many victims leave work rather than report incidents.
And when so many perpetrators are managers or in positions of power.
