WISE's Legal Education Program – emphasizing the notion that equality is not only gained through legal action, but through knowledge of the law and equality rights. The ultimate goal is to empower women to take control of their own safety and well-being as women are statistically more vulnerable to violence, harassment/stalking and sexual assault than men (Canadian Network of Women’s Shelters and Transition Houses, 2013).
Do you work in an environment that makes you feel uncomfortable? Is your work station positioned so you are not aware of people arriving at your office space? Or, are there any specific safety issues concerning you at work? If so, contact WISE to have a workplace safety audit done.
