Workplace Sexual Assault
Every person who steps into a workplace has the fundamental right to a safe, secure, and respectful environment, free from any form of abuse or harassment. Employees should be able to trust and rely on their employers to foster spaces that are professional and supportive, where all team members can thrive without fear or apprehension.
Unfortunately, workplace sexual assault persists as a pervasive issue affecting countless individuals. A recent study found that 38% of women and 14% of men have experienced sexual harassment or abuse in the workplace.
Navigating the fallout of workplace sexual abuse can be overwhelming and complex for survivors. The fear of retaliation, job security threats, and damaging professional relationships often deter survivors from reporting their experiences to the appropriate legal authorities or holding their abusers accountable in court. The process can feel isolating and fraught with challenges, further exacerbating the trauma.

Our team is dedicated to assisting survivors through this complicated and often emotionally taxing process.
