Lidl didn't take the legal steps to prevent the sexual harassment of a teenager working for the store. The consequences - an action plan. The same action plan that failed hundreds of McDonalds workers. #EndNotDefend

The government believes workplace sexual harassment should be dealt with by the police. Cases reported to the police represent 0.000007% of all cases - and is it any wonder when confidence is so low.

No more tick-boxes. We're calling for: 1. Anonymous reporting 2. More time for workers to report incidents 3. Annual published reporting of figures 4. Sexual harassment to be treated as a workplace hazard #EndNotDefend
https://t.co/4A8i2TTymE Last week, our codirector spoke to the BBC in his role as National President of BFAWU - responsible for uncovering the scandal 3 years ago. With 700 cases reported, many workers still say McDonald's are just being asked to "tick boxes." #EndNotDefend

McDonald’s workers are still being failed and politicians are still pretending tick-boxes stop abuse. They don’t. Enforcement does. Make #SexualHarassment a real @HSE responsibility. It’s time to #EndNotDefend. https://t.co/FvOTydxoDd
The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) has extended its legal agreement with McDonald’s Restaurants Limited (@McDonaldsUK) to protect its staff from sexual harassment. Read our full statement here: https://t.co/7zizVjwys2

This is a game of bingo you don’t want to play. These are phrases survivors hear when reporting sexual harassment at work; excuses that protect power not people. Myths silence individuals and preserve unsafe systems. Let’s stop playing ITF bullshit bingo. #BreakTheSilence #metoo

Recent findings show sexual abuse widespread in the Army, with hundreds of women coming forward. Power and fear keep victims silent. The Army assesses risk every day - it must do the same to stop abuse within its own ranks. #EndNotDefend

The claims relate to checks carried out between the 1970s and 2010s at a number of locations.

"New ...data from OfS confirms what we have known for a long time. A concerningly high number of students – particularly LGBTQ+ and disabled people, as well as women – are subjected to sexual violence and harassment while studying in higher education" https://t.co/hE7SQKqWWB

Anna Bull explores the latest OfS findings on the prevalence of harassment and sexual misconduct — and why they're only one piece of a puzzle on student safety.

If the HSE had treated sexual exploitation and harassment as workplace hazards, the grooming gang scandals could have been exposed years earlier. Instead, survivors were failed twice — first by institutions, then by regulators who said “not our job.” https://t.co/xZKw23KrBO

Sir Keir was head of the Crown Prosecution Service for five years when grooming gangs were being investigated.

Women are being silenced - first with NDAs, now with private hearings in Employment Tribunals where they're rarely allowed. This is not normal procedure. This is deeply concerning. We need transparency, not closed doors. #EndNotDefend

The case, reported by The Times, has seen media campaigners warn of a trend towards secret justice. Lawyers for claimant are appealing.

No one should go to work and be subjected to sexual harassment and most certainly no one should be sexually harassed in a trade union organisation. #EndNotDefend
Trade unions are calling for the International Transport Workers Federation (ITF) to suspend its general secretary Steve Cotton and investigate serious allegations of misconduct, after a Novara Media investigation. In a letter seen by Novara Media sent to ITF president Paddy

And we're delighted that @ChrisStephens, the former MP behind the vital Single Status of Worker Bill, brings his vast knowledge and expertise to our board.
I aim to keep giving back, and continue my work, as an activist to the Party and my various voluntary roles, as a Board member of Govan Law Centre, Chair of Good Food Scotland and Board member of the Workers Policy Project. Onwards and Upwards.

Of 9.8M people sexually harassed at work annually - mostly women- only 7 incidents were recorded by the police. With so much contempt from police forces, women will never be safe. The Government can’t keep insisting the police are left to handle gendered workplace violence.
The behaviour outlined in “Panorama: Undercover in the Police” was “disgraceful, totally unacceptable and contrary to the values and standards” of the force, according to the Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Mark Rowley. Watch now on iPlayer https://t.co/H2Xjd6SVVi

This type of corporate cover-up can't be allowed to happen to women at work anymore. The government must act, and when 1 in 3 workers every year are sexually harassed, employers have to assume it's happening in their workplaces too.
