Harassment including sexual harassment
Things that increase the likelihood of harassment include:
\- particular cohorts of workers who are more vulnerable such as young workers, workers with a disability, workers from culturally or linguistically diverse backgrounds , workers in insecure or precarious forms of employment, and workers on working visas
\- acceptance of inappropriate behaviour (e.g. racially or sexually crude conversations, innuendo or offensive jokes are part of the accepted culture)
\- power imbalances along gendered lines (e.g. workplaces where one gender holds the majority of management and decision-making positions)
