Timeline PhotosJoin Welsh Women’s Aid for this unique online event where we consider a post-pandemic world that is free from workplace sexual harassment.
Utilising new data from a Wales-wide report on workplace sexual harassment from Welsh Women’s Aid, our panel of experts will discuss how the pandemic has impacted women’s experiences, how these experiences often intersect with other forms of discrimination and how the decline of the pandemic might be our best opportunity to eradicate workplace sexual harassment once and for all.

• Gwendolyn Sterk, Head of Public Affairs & Communications at Welsh Women’s Aid
• Deeba Syed, Senior Legal Officer at Rights of Women
• Julie Cook, National Officer at TUC Cymru
