This type of corporate cover-up can't be allowed to happen to women at work anymore. The government must act, and when 1 in 3 workers every year are sexually harassed, employers have to assume it's happening in their workplaces too.

Proud to have signed this letter alongside so many incredible women. We reject the far-right’s racist lies about ‘protecting’ women and girls. They are not defenders of women – they exploit violence against women to fuel hate and division. theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/s…

Lidl didn't take the legal steps to prevent the sexual harassment of a teenager working for the store. The consequences - an action plan. The same action plan that failed hundreds of McDonalds workers. #EndNotDefend equalityhumanrights.com/lidl-signs-leg…

channel4.com/news/police-mi… Kristina O'Connor was sexually harassed by a police officer. Of the 9.8 million annual cases of workplace sexual harassment, 7 were recorded by the police. If the government were serious about tackling VAWG, they'd start here. Jess Phillips

The government believes workplace sexual harassment should be dealt with by the police. Cases reported to the police represent 0.000007% of all cases - and is it any wonder when confidence is so low.

Of 9.8M people sexually harassed at work annually - mostly women- only 7 incidents were recorded by the police. With so much contempt from police forces, women will never be safe. The Government can’t keep insisting the police are left to handle gendered workplace violence.

No one should go to work and be subjected to sexual harassment and most certainly no one should be sexually harassed in a trade union organisation. #EndNotDefend

Women are being silenced - first with NDAs, now with private hearings in Employment Tribunals where they're rarely allowed. This is not normal procedure. This is deeply concerning. We need transparency, not closed doors. #EndNotDefend personneltoday.com/hr/university-…

If the HSE had treated sexual exploitation and harassment as workplace hazards, the grooming gang scandals could have been exposed years earlier. Instead, survivors were failed twice — first by institutions, then by regulators who said “not our job.” news.sky.com/story/grooming…

Recent findings show sexual abuse widespread in the Army, with hundreds of women coming forward. Power and fear keep victims silent. The Army assesses risk every day - it must do the same to stop abuse within its own ranks. #EndNotDefend bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…
