Women who have experienced sexual violence at work are often shamed and silenced.And when they speak up about gendered violence and abuse, the system that is supposed to protect them will fail them. It takes enormousness courage to keep fighting for justice. Never lose hope.

What this case proves beyond reasonable doubt, is that we are yet to create a country that is safe for women, where they can speak out, where they are equal.

Much ❤️ to Brittany and Lisa.

Immense courage to speak out and fight against the onslaught. abc.net.au/news/2024-04-1…

Twelve women, hundreds of allegations of sexual harassment and abuse and one corporation whose negligence let this happen.

Organise. Fight and Win.

The systematic exploitation of migrant workers is rampant. These women recognise that change starts from the top and the onus is on the employer to provide a safe workplace. They are taking a stand with their union, UWU, against the repeated sexual harassment and abuse of power.

TODAY brave United Workers Union members at Treasury Wines' Barossa Valley operations have gone on strike to secure a fair pay rise and protest against sackings of fellow workers.
