Questions for consideration

1. What does it mean when do-good organisations, education institutions and companies declare "zero tolerance for sexual harassment"?
2. How can leadership practically encourage a victim-centred approach and an organisational culture that makes sexual harassment obsolete?
3. How do we put "zero tolerance for sexual harassment" into action?

Who is the publication for?

This paper is tackling the issue of sexual harassment at institutional level whether private or public. On page 11 you will find an expanded selection of target audience but in my opinion, I think this publication is relevant to management and leadership of education institutions, public and private sector entities and companies, their human resource personnel as well as their legal team. I say this because this discussion paper is in earnest a practical guide for taking zero tolerance from a phrase into action.
