This program is dedicated to ensuring workplaces are safe, nurturing, and enabling for women and girls. Sexual harassment remains one of the most significant deterrents to women’s participation in the workforce, especially in the informal sector, where protections are weakest. Through this program, women gain the tools to:
- Understand the structures of Brahmanical patriarchy and how these shape power and exclusion in the workplace
- Build awareness of human rights and labour rights in the context of informal work.
- Address mental health challenges stemming from harassment, discrimination, and unsafe environments.
- Critically examine and dissect power relations to recognise, resist, and abolish harmful dynamics at work.
As a result, women learn not only how to identify and address sexual harassment and gender-based violence but also how to hold their ground in unsafe environments, demand accountability, and advocate for structural change. Without systemic reforms, women will continue to face exclusion, workplace bias, and violence, preventing them from reaching their full potential. Workplace safety is not only a matter of protection, it is fundamental to achieving economic justice for women.
