“I'm sure the government wants to do something about this..because lower & younger lower-paid workers are particularly vulnerable”

Great to hear from Jenny Jones standing in for Natalie Bennet argue for HSE involvement to protect workers most vulnerable to sexual harassment.

"It would be a no-brainer to try and work together across the House... to try and see if we can improve on what clearly isn't working at the moment."

Great to hear Lord Russell on the 51 years of legislation and why we need real oversight on workplace sexual harassement.

"The prevalence of sexual harassment and violence in the workplace across the UK shows that interventions like these amendments are, unfortunately, necessary." 1/2

From Baroness Smith's excellent opening speech last night in the Lords 👇

"To mandate the Health and Safety Executive to develop and publish an enforceable health and safety framework on violence and harassment in the workplace."

Fantastic working with The Suzy Lamplugh Trust and Baroness Carmen Smith on amendments to the Employment Rights Bill- tackling the high rates of sexual harrasement in the workplace is early intervention that would have a huge impact on violence against women and girls.
