Waitresses frequently face sexual harassment and assault in their workplace and some people see this as just part of the job. However, everyone in Ontario has a right to be free from sexual harassment and assault in the workplace and it is the employer’s legal duty to do whatever they can to prevent employees from being harassed. If you or someone you know is experiencing workplace sexual harassment contact SHAPE (Sexual Harassment Advice Prevention and Education) at www.shapeyourworkplace.ca for free legal advice and information.

Wednesday, January 24th was the International Day of Education.

Without inclusive and equitable quality education and lifelong opportunities for all, countries will not succeed in achieving gender equality and breaking the cycle of poverty that is leaving millions of children, youth and adults behind.

Many women in Canada have had the horrible experience of feeling unsafe at work because of stalking behaviours by clients, co-workers, supervisors, or an ex-partner. Some examples of behaviours that could be deemed stalking include leaving unwanted gifts, constantly monitoring activity, staring, accessing private information without permission, not respecting personal space, frequent unwanted communications and showing up at the person’s home or other locations they frequent uninvited (CaseIQ, 2023). Cyberstalking is also becoming more common and can include sending unwanted messages to the victim or their associates, using social media to gather information about their personal lives, “cyber-smearing”, tracking location through cell phones or other GPS technology or monitoring for reasons that are not work related (AuCoin, 2005). Stalking is a criminal offence in Canada called criminal harassment and includes cyber stalking.
