Background
Sexual harassment can happen in any workplace. In the garment industry, it’s a widespread problem, but it’s a problem that can be stopped. Real change happens when workers, employers, and communities come together to create safe, respectful workplaces where harassment is not tolerated.
Businesses around the world are recognizing that safety and dignity at work benefit everyone. CARE’s research in Cambodia showed that harassment doesn’t just harm women. It also costs businesses up to USD $89 million per year in lost productivity, revenue, and sick days.*
