Sweeping Change: Report Launch, November 9th, 2021

Virtual Event: Sweeping Change Report Launch

November 9 | 6:00 pm ET

"Sweeping Change” is a new report that documents the prevalence and experiences of workplace sexual harassment in the California janitorial industry, as well as the conditions that hinder reporting and impose silence. Yet, out of this challenging context, an innovative response has emerged—this report examines a model for confronting workplace sexual harassment that was developed by workers in the California janitorial industry and may hold important lessons for addressing the problem in other low-wage industries.

Join us virtually on November 9th, 2021 (6-8 pm EST I 3-5 pm PST) for a report launch featuring a conversation with janitor peer educators leading change in their workplaces.

There will be simultaneous interpretation of the program in English and Spanish.

वेबिनार: "स्वीपिंग चेंज" (व्यापक परिवर्तन)

"स्वीपिंग चेंज" एउटा नया रिपोर्ट हो जुन कैलिफोर्निया ज्यानिटर/ चौकीदार उद्योगमा हुने कार्यस्थल यौन उत्पीडनको ब्यापकता र अनुभवको साथ साथै रिपोर्ट गर्नमा बाधा लगाउने र यस्तो स्तिथिको बारे बोल्न नदिनेको दस्तावेज गरिने छ I तैपनि, यो चुनौतीपूर्ण सन्दर्भ को बाहिर, एक नवीन प्रतिक्रियाको उदय भएको छ-यो रिपोर्टले कार्यस्थल यौन उत्पीडनको सामना गर्नको लागी एक मोडेल को जाँच गरीयो जो क्यालिफोर्निया ज्यानिटर/ चौकीदार उद्योगमा कामदारहरु द्वारा विकसित गरीएको थियो र अन्य कम ज्याला पउने उद्योगहरुमा  हुने समस्याको समाधानको लागी महत्वपूर्ण पाठहरुलाई पकड्न सक्छ।

९ नवेम्बेर, २०२१ (६-८ बजे इ एसटी I ३-५ बजे पी एसटी) समयमा भर्चुअल रूपमा  हाम्रो साथ सामिल हुनुहोला, एक रिपोर्ट लॉन्चको  लागी जहाँ  ज्यानिटर / चौकीदार सहकर्मी शिक्षकहरुको साथ कुराकानीको विशेषता रहेको छ जसले कार्यस्थलमा बदलाव ल्याउने नेतृत्व गरिरहेको छ I
