Beschreibung
Sexualized violence is omnipresent and takes place wherever people meet - including the workplace. Sexism, sexual harassment and abuse of power are rooted deeply, often difficult to recognize and even more difficult to eliminate.
Verena Arps-Roelle and Sebastian Arps want to change that.
In their book, which is based on a german case study, they show how you can create a culture free of sexualized violence in three steps - as an employee, colleague, manager and employer. This book offers valuable and experience-based insights into the complex topic and expands your knowledge of legal, corporate and social aspects. It equips you with tried-and-tested methods for setting clear boundaries and shows you how to use your strengths as a person or company to prevent and intervene in order to create a safe and respectful environment.
Therefore, sometimes we have to be a cactus: Learn how to use your spines to see, name and stop sexualized violence.
A Guide: Learn how to create a culture free from sexualized violence in the workplace.
Prevention and Intervention: Learn how to set clear boundaries and ensure a respectful (work)environment.
Protection and Empowerment: Use practical methods to effectively counter sexism and stereotypes – not just in the workplace.
