Building Safe and Humane Workplaces for Women
Women cannot thrive at work if they are unsafe. Creating safety requires innovative structural solutions, including implementation of trauma-informed and humane working conditions and practices.
Intimidation, hostility, harassment, and violence against women in the workplace are at epidemic levels. These are structural problems undergirded by inequities, and they require structural solutions. In higher education, solutions typically focus on students, while faculty and staff fall through the cracks. With over five million people employed in higher education, more than sixty percent of them women, it is time to develop scalable, adaptable innovations, including targeted trainings, educational programs, accountability mechanisms, and research.
