WRC UK has worked with trade unions such as USDAW, UNISON, CPS and NASUWT as well as human resource departments to bring a discussion of violence against women into the workplace.

If you have male colleagues, your workplace can be a great place to raise awareness about violence against women and to encourage other men to get involved.

We can supply a range of materials to helkp you be active in the workplace:

• Put up posters on noticeboards
• Email your male colleagues and ask them to pledge their support;
• Order a box of white ribbons to sell in your reception or tearoom.
• If you witness someone being sexually harassed at your place of work, don't ignore it.
• Put on a lunch hour or after work film showing
• Find out whether your workplace and/or your trade union has a violence against women policy and if they don't, get involved in creating one.
