Abstract:

This report presents a review of national and international research literature regarding the potential role of workplaces as a key setting for the prevention of violence against women. The review addresses the two specific forms of violence against women that impact on the workplace – intimate partner violence and workplace sexual harassment – and how workplaces can contribute to changes in the underlying social conditions associated with gender inequality. In so doing, this report discusses best and promising practice examples of interventions and strategies that workplaces can undertake to create healthy workplaces based on a culture of respect and non-violence.
