Sexual harassment can be difficult to talk about — and discussing it does not necessarily mean that it exists in your workplace. However, having this discussion is important as a preventative measure.
RES's team can transform a tough-to-discuss subject into a thoughtful, productive discussion. As a quick guide, we advise you to do the following:
- Understand the culture and the power dynamics.
- Carefully consider what information to present.
- Use simple, non-threatening language.
If you think discussing sexual harassment at your workplace is difficult, please contact us or share our contacts with the relevant person at your workplace.
We all have the right to be treated equally. Discrimination is any discriminatory behavior that involves some form of exclusion, rejection or restriction based on a person's characteristics (gender, religion or belief, disability, age, skin color, language, political opinion, nationality social origin, social class,…etc)
Discrimination can be direct like hiring people based on their religious beliefs regardless of qualifications. Discrimination can also be indirect like when a policy, or practice is presented in neutral terms but it disproportionately disadvantages specific people.
If you think there is discrimination at your workplace, please contact us or share our contacts with the relevant person at your work.

This is a personal decision that you have to make. We can help by providing legal advice tailored to your situation.
Until you determine the right path for you, we recommend you do the following:
- Make it clear that such conduct is not accepted.
- Document what happened and keep a record.
- Check the safeguarding policy at your work to know how to report the case. If such a policy does not exist, ask the management to develop it. RES can assist with this process.
- Report the incident at your workplace. If this is not possible for any reason, stand firmly against it.
Gender based violence (GBV) is any harmful act against someone (boy or girl, man or woman) based on gender-role expectations and stereotypes.
Sexual harassment is one type of GBV. It is any form of unwanted words and/or actions of a sexual nature that violate a person's body, privacy, or feelings and make that person feel uncomfortable.
