QWWS supports Sexual Harassment in Australia Research

A national project addressing workplace sexual harassment is being undertaken by Paula McDonald from the Queensland University of Technology and Sara Charlesworth from the University of South Australia.  The researchers are interested in conducting confidential phone interviews with people who have experienced workplace sexual harassment.  The aim of this phase of the project is to understand the impacts of sexual harassment on those who have experienced it and to contribute to more effective policy development and implementation in workplaces and by human rights organisations. 

If you or someone you know has experienced sexual harassment and would be willing to talk about these issues, please contact Paula or Sara for more information.
