Stand Strong Against #SexualHarassment: Together, We Can Make a Difference. Sexual harassment is a violation of human dignity and respect. In India, it's crucial that we all take a stand to prevent it. By understanding our rights, promoting awareness, and fostering a safe environment, we can create a society where everyone feels secure. Know Your Rights: Familiarize yourself with the laws and policies that protect you. The Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition, and Redressal) Act, 2013 is a powerful tool to ensure safety at work. Raise Awareness: Educate yourself and others about the signs of harassment. Speak up and support victims by encouraging them to report incidents. Create Safe Spaces: Employers must establish internal complaints committees, conduct regular training, and enforce zero-tolerance policies against harassment. Gender neutral policies are encouraged to promote inclusiveness & prevent fake allegations. Comply: Cos need to adhere to provisions of POSH Act & MCA guidelines to avoid penalties. Together, we can build a respectful and safe India. Let's commit to preventing sexual harassment and supporting those affected.

On 25th of January 2021, there was a launch by ODIHR (Office of Democratic Institutions of Human Rights) 1st cohort of ISTAC, International Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Council. On 27th of March 2024 over half of the ISTAC members resigned, due to lack of leadership, sexual misconduct, and contractual abuse. Firstly, I am very thankful for all opportunities I have had in 1st cohort of ISTAC by participating in the development of documents such as Code of Practice for Ensuring the Rights of Victims and Survivors of Human Trafficking, Guidance on the Establishment and Maintenance of National Survivors of Trafficking Advisory Councils (NSTAC), as well as Survivor Informed Indicators for Identification of Victims and Survivors of Human Trafficking and the Inter-Agency Coordination Group against Trafficking in Persons (ICAT) Issue Brief on Ensuring Ethical Survivor Inclusion. My resignation, together with the majority group of other ISTAC members in 2nd cohort which we delivered as a common resignation letter, is not an attempt to take away the credit for all the good work that ODIHR has done and continues with. However, there have been several points of concern that have been pointed out in our common resignation letter. Some of those concerns have been pointed out already after our first meeting in person in the period of 30 June - 2 July 2023 in Warsaw, Poland. I hope that the resignation letter document can be used as a guideline for ODIHR to acknowledge mistakes that have been made in leading 2nd cohort of ISTAC and making adjustments to correct the working environment and leadership approach in how ODIHR uses survivor leaders and their voices in work against human trafficking. My wish to undersign a common resignation letter comes from striving to give better working conditions for remaining members in ISTAC, as well as setting a standard for how survivor leaders should be treated by any representatives of any country, including ODIHR that have the power to guide 57 member counties in work against human trafficking and work with survivor leaders. As I see it, this resignation letter, together with all points of concern that are listed in it, has the same historical impact on putting survivor voices on the map, as it was by establishing ISTAC in 2021. This is the official document that allows correcting ODIHR’s approach to how to work with survivor leaders. As survivor leaders, we have a responsibility to stand for the rights of many survivors around the world, and not only for our own well-being. This document is an example of the fight each survivor leader has to face in demanding the same treatment as any other professional and expert. I hope that ODIHR will use this document well.   You can read resignation letter here: https://lnkd.in/dgsYQAsn #ODIHR #OSCE #ISTAC #InternationalSurvivorsOfTraffickignAdvisoryCouncil Jerome Elam Kelly Tallon Franklin Kelly D.

If you are in the UK and see coverage of this latest “dog whistle” policy from the Conservatives please take a minute to look for the evidence they are relying on when they infer that this addresses a “safety” issue. Good luck. If you find that evidence please let me know … It’s nonsense. It’s a policy that does no good but increases harm through increasing exclusion of an already excluded minority. They quote examples of trans women on women’s hospital wards. That would be the situation that generated ZERO complaints. They talk about trans women in women’s prisons. That would be all of 5 people. More male MPs were investigated for sexual misconduct in the last parliament than the entire population of trans women in women’s prisons. So which community poses a threat here?? Please see this for what it is - evidence free policy making that masquerades as “common sense” but actually does nothing to solve real safety issues. It’s pure “dog whistle” for those voters who find appeal in transphobic policies. PS - for the avoidance of doubt, this post is my personal opinion and does not attempt to state any kind of position on behalf of bp. Just making that clear as I’ve had a couple of questions seeking clarification on that point.

📣 Today is Human Trafficking Awareness Day 📣 What does this mean to us? Being an ethical recruiter is to supply workers lawfully and in a fair and transparent manner that respects and protects their rights. What signs to look for to make sure your recruiter is an ethical recruiter? - Check the company is on the Ethical Recruiters List. - Being approached by agencies offering their services for free. - Having candidates unsure of why they are being interviewed for a role and seem vulnerable. - What is their reputation within the industry with proven case studies. In the last year, I have come across organisations with their barriers up and when getting to the bottom of this it's due to unethical recruitment processes and them being caught in the middle. Yes, It might seem appealing to have FREE recruitment, but in hindsight, it's free for a reason, companies are being found charging very vulnerable candidates and promising them employment. This is unethical recruitment and can jeopardise your business. The points to highlight: Stay vigilant, make sure your recruiter is performing ethically, and the candidates supplied are not vulnerable and have been taken advantage of. Protect your organisation. Feel free to discuss ethical recruitment with me and the best processes to follow: Alexander.Neal@we-solutions.co.uk 07935418000 #ethicalrecruitment #recruitment #ethical #recruitmentsolutions #recruitmentconsultant #wesolutions #nurses #carers #nurse #care #careworker #healthandsocialcare #workforce #employment #ahp #alliedhealthprofessionals #nhs #hospital #hospitals #trusts #trust #nhstrust #privatehospital #residential #residentialcare #residentialhomes #nursinghome #nursinghomes #humantraffickingawareness https://lnkd.in/ehZ76e2y

WHAT GOES IN COMES BACK When you don’t recruit the best for the government, you can’t expect the best from government. People don’t accept a Person with Disability as their private office peon, private driver or even a maid at home but want the government to recruit them into Civil Services to become District Collectors, etc. Irony just died a thousand deaths! Affirmative action is necessary, but multi-generational reservation, OBC Creamy Layer, EWS, PwD, Women, Sports, etc in the name of that is not only a big sham but downright anti-national. Not only the integrity of UPSC recruitment process came under cloud but on top of that there is what is called #UPSC_Jihad allegedly at the behest of the RSS-BJP Government whereby more marks are apparently awarded to Muslim candidates in the interviews. If there was no truth in it, why the Sudarshan News TV expose was shut down? Lastly, I have a vested interest in the integrity and fairness of public service recruitment. For, I am its beneficiary and therefore the least I should do is to protect it. Likewise, the least that is expected of all those beneficiaries of the honest recruitment process is to outrage against #UPSC_Scam and institutional compromise.

🚨 𝗥𝗮𝗽𝗲 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝟭𝟱𝟬+ 𝗲𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗲𝗲𝘀. 🚨 (Source: NDTV) A company called DBR Networking had put up advertisements across social media, seeking agents for a call center run by them. The highlight: the applicants had to be women. Following the application process, a request for ₹20,000/- for training would be made. Subsequently, upon commencement of the training, individuals would find themselves subjected to a vicious cycle of mental and psychological torture, rape threats and even forced abortions - said the officials. This thing was being repeated with more than 150+ women and if they fail to meet the targets - they would be raped and forced to get abortion if got pregnant. The company is destroying every bit of the employees' respect - mentally, physically and emotionally. Imagine the level of fear and trauma that the individuals impacted will experience. 😟 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗿𝘁. 🙏 𝗔𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳. #stayalert #staysecure #staycautious #fraudalert #linkedinfamily #linkedinconnections #linkedin
