UN Women’s publication “What will it take? Promoting cultural change to end sexual harassment” (2019) (#6501) identified six areas of work to achieve lasting cultural change: making training effective, victim focused work, making reporting rational, zero tolerance, collective ownership, and organizational transparency.

This publication focuses on training as preventive intervention, particularly in the workplace. Adequate training dislodges entrenched and discriminatory ideas on gender—fundamental to promote cultural change to end sexual harassment. Evidence has shown that current training on sexual harassment is largely ineffective and sometimes appears to prompt resistance in some (male and female) trainees. This paper analyses what makes training against sexual harassment both effective and transformative.(From the website). Record #6667
