Responding to new research from Slater & Gordon on Sexual Harassment in the workplace, Shadow Minister for Women and Equalities Gloria De Piero said:

“This research shows just how far we still have to travel on women’s equality. No workplace should permit a culture where these sorts of attitudes exist.

“We should be doing more to empower women to challenge this behaviour and come forward and report it to their employer. But instead this Tory-led Government is charging victims £1200 to take a sexual harassment case to tribunal.

“If we are to eradicate outdated and offensive attitudes from our workplaces David Cameron should be doing much more to break down barriers to women in the workplace, and that includes his own Cabinet.”
