A national charity is calling time on sexual harassment with an event which aims to tackle the issue in Welsh workplaces<\/strong><\/h2>\n
\"#TimesUp

Welsh Women\u2019s Aid is holding a dialogue session between activists and industry professionals to combat sexual harassment at work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The #MeToo and #TimesUp movements have hit headlines on numerous occasions in the last year following reports of Harvey Weinstein and Arcadia Group boss Sir Philip Green\u2019s alleged behaviour in their respective industries.<\/span><\/p>\n

Research for the BBC by <\/span>ComRes<\/span><\/a> found that in 2017 40% of women and 18% of men surveyed had experienced some kind of unsolicited sexual behaviour at work in the UK.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>Young Women\u2019s Trust<\/span><\/a>, only 8% of women aged between 18 and 30 reported this kind of behaviour, with 24% citing fear of losing their job as what would prevent them from doing the same.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe want people to feel empowered to speak and ask questions. A lot of people have seen the #TimesUp movement in the media but now let\u2019s actually do something,\u201d says Becky James, the charity\u2019s press officer.<\/span><\/p>\n

The dialogue session will feature two panels of activists and professionals from various industries across Wales to talk about what is currently being done, and how they can work together to introduce new protocols and procedures into Welsh workplaces.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so workplaces become more aware and know exactly how to deal with sexual harassment correctly and ethically,\u201d Becky explains. \u201cIf anything ever does happen, the man or women will be left feeling safe.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"

In October the charity collaborated with nominees at the BAFTA Cymru Awards<\/a> to highlight sexual harassment. Many of them, including ambassador Sian Harries and comedian Rhod Gilbert, attended the ceremony wearing #TimesUp pins.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re seeing this happening worldwide but I think what\u2019s really important is to show that we\u2019re being proactive in Wales. It\u2019s important to always keep Wales on the map,\u201d Becky tells us.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event will be held at Chapter Arts Centre on 6 Dec, with limited tickets <\/span>available<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
