Abstract:  This report found that sexual harassment in retail is common, normalised and harmful. It calls for employers and industry stakeholders to prevent and respond to the potential harms, including to employee wellbeing, career progression and earnings, team cohesion, and the success of businesses and the national economy. This project was conducted by a team at the University of Sydney led by Professor Rae Cooper and Professor Elizabeth Hill. The project offers insights into the nature and prevalence of sexual harassment in the retail workplace, related organisational policies and training, and how employers and industry stakeholders can improve responses.
Notes:  This report addresses work covered in the ANROWS research project “Understanding and addressing sexual harassment in the Australian retail sector”. Please consult the ANROWS website for more information on the project. ANROWS research contributes to the vision of the National Plan to End Violence against Women and Children 2022–2032: ending violence in one generation. This research addresses the Prevention domain – stopping violence before it starts, and the Response domain – efforts to address existing violence.
