Partner with us to help prevent tech-facilitated gender-based workplace abuse

Did you know that 4 in 10 Australian women have have experienced workplace sexual harassment in the last five years, and 1 in 7 Australian workers have perpetuated workplace sexual harassment facilitated by technology? 

But, while technology can perpetuate gendered workplace abuse, it can also provide avenues for solutions. Our project, which is funded through the eSafety Commissioner’s Preventing Tech-based Abuse of Women Grants Program – an Australian Government initiative, seeks to find these solutions.

We’re looking for organisations to partner with us for this vital research to help us stop gendered tech-based abuse in the workplace before it begins. In your workplace, are you encountering... 

• Workplace gendered bullying occurring on social media platforms and messaging services? 
• Circulation of sexist material or gender-based harassment amongst workers over email or workplace tech platforms? 
• Unnecessary and intrusive monitoring of women and gender minorities’ productivity using technology? 
• Persistent intrusion into women and gender minorities’ personal life and time via messages, phone calls, or email? 
• Other forms of gendered bullying, harassment, or discrimination via technology?

We’re looking for organisations that have two or more distinct organisational departments, teams or divisions and use technology for work communication and activities to help support us with this vital research. If that sounds like you, you can get in touch with the team at gtap.giwl@anu.edu.au to learn more about how you can get involved. You can also find more information in our factsheet below.
