Know Your Rights: Employers are Legally Required to Protect You Every woman deserves a safe, respectful workplace where harassment isn’t tolerated. The Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment in the Workplace is a legal framework designed to ensure that protection. If you’ve ever experienced or witnessed harassment, know that you have the right to speak up - and your employer is legally required to act. A safe, harassment-free workplace is not a privilege, it’s your right. Make sure you know your rights and demand the protection and respect you deserve.
