RISE Up: Ending Gender Based Violence and Harassment in Construction
RISE Up confronts violence and harassment in construction through training, bystander intervention, RISE Up trained ambassadors, contractor toolkits, and policy alignment to protect women nationwide.
Violence, harassment, and the nation's second highest suicide rate, make construction one of the most dangerous industries for worker well-being. Women face heightened risk, underscored by the recent worksite murder of a female welder in Minnesota. RISE Up confronts this crisis through a national, scalable model combining training, bystander intervention, RISE Up Ambassadors, and practical toolkits, aligned with public policy that requires respectful workplace training on public jobsites driven by RISE Up affiliates nationwide.
