Most women fundis work on sites where harassment goes unchecked. Simple systems can change that: a clear point person, safe reporting, proper induction, and real follow-up. Safe sites reduce conflict, improve focus, and boost productivity for everyone. #UNiTEForSafeWorksites

SAFEGUARDS ON SITE PREVENT VIOLENCE, ABUSE, AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT A safe site needs simple systems: • A clear way to report • Basic training during induction • Supervisors who act • Real consequences • Regular toolbox talks • A safe place to escalate issues • Follow-ups
