Making it Safe: Inspiring Strategies against Sexual Harassment

As women, we can come together to inspire and develop personal strategies against sexual harassment. 

By sharing our lived experiences, we can discover and adopt and adapt more strategies for making places and relationships safe for ourselves and others. 

The workshop covers six themes: 

• Theme 1: Knowing when you're not safe
• Theme 2: Behaviours and actions
• Theme 3: Beliefs, attitudes and state
• Theme 4: Stories
• Theme 5: Allies
• Theme 6: Action steps

This workshop will be facilitated by Jacqueline Ann Surin. She is an expert facilitator who has worked with and trained several women’s groups in Malaysia and the region. She will facilitate the group cleanly, with curiosity, respect and gentle humour.
