Sexual Harassment Event

The Gibraltar CIPD branch’s next event will be held on Thursday 7th March between 1pm and 2.30pm, with guest speaker Katerina Rudiger, the CIPD’s Chief Community Officer at Isolas LLP, Portland House Glacis Road. 

They say: The session will focus on the CIPD viewpoint on sex discrimination and employment. Although sex discrimination has been illegal for more than 30 years, we know it is still an issue. Sexual harassment at work, pregnancy and maternity discrimination are serious problems employers must tackle. Although there has been progress, there is still a long way to go until we can claim equality of opportunity on the basis of sex.

Statistics show that nearly 2 in 3 young women have experienced sexual harassment at work, 40% of women have experienced some form of sexual harassment in the workplace and younger women aged 18-34 are most at risk of sexual harassment with 43% having experienced it.
