Item Summary
WA Commissioner for Equal Opportunity Dr John Byrne spoke at the Restorative Justice - Empowering Victims conference held by the Department of Justice recently.
Dr Byrne spoke about how increased awareness of sexual harassment had improved workplace responses to victims' allegations.
He said the #MeToo movement that started over a decade ago has steadily built momentum by publicising inappropriate sexualised behaviour.
"In my opinion this has had an effect on reducing sexual harassment in the workplace," he said.
Dr Byrne went on to explain how the Commission's complaint process can provide restorative justice to victims of sexual and racial harassment.
