The Sex Discrimination Act introduced a requirement for employers to proactively prevent sexual harassment in the workplace. As of last week, the Australian Human Rights Commission has powers to investigate and enforce penalties against businesses who do not comply. All forms of violence against women, including sexual harassment, are more likely to happen where gender inequality is normalised.
