| Short description | Screen Australia has published a factsheet for people who believe they may have been sexually harassed at work. “The Gender Matters Taskforce is made up of upcoming and prominent women, representative across the screen sector. Some women on the taskforce have recently fielded calls concerning sexual harassment and assault. To assist with some of these questions and concerns, Screen Australia has put together a basic information sheet. Our industry is dominated by small businesses and freelance workers. Often these parties are vulnerable without access to resources provided by bigger companies. It is important that we are all aware of our rights and responsibilities. The seriousness of this matter cannot be underestimated. We all bear a responsibility to support, inform and assist victims of sexual harassment and/or assault in every way possible.” Joanna Werner Chair – Genders Matters Taskforce |
