One key component of this support was a three-day training held with the initiative of UN Women from 1 to 3 August 2018 in Tbilisi for the representatives of local government agencies, academia, NGOs and the private sector.
During the interactive training led by an international expert, 21 participants enhanced their knowledge about sexual harassment in the workplace, including how to identify it and develop complaints mechanisms.
It is noteworthy that by applying various models, the participants developed sexual harassment complaints mechanisms and effective action plans for their implementation. Post-training, the participants are now expected to introduce the complaints mechanism to their organizations. The international expert will even continue supporting them in this process for a set period of time.
It is important that after the training, the participants will be able to assist their partner organizations to develop their sexual harassment complaints mechanisms, which will support the prevention, early identification and adequate response to sexual harassment and, ultimately, the establishment of a fair, decent and equitable working environment.
The training was held within the framework of the project “Joint Action for Women’s Economic Empowerment in Georgia”, implemented by UN Women with the financial support of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Norway.
