The Department of Justice Canada has provided funding for initiatives to address the persistent issue of sexual harassment in the workplace. The Sexual Harassment in the Workplace Project (SHIW Project) is one such initiative, with community legal clinics throughout Ontario working to reduce sexual harassment in the workplace and improve access to justice.
The goals of the SHIW Project are to increase awareness, educate, and provide advice on sexual harassment in the workplace.
The Elgin-Oxford and Huron Perth clinics have hired a lawyer, Elspeth Graham, to lead the SHIW Project at their clinics. The clinics are also working collaboratively with Neighbourhood Legal Services (London & Middlesex).
For organizations, the SHIW Project can provide presentations, workshops, and training regarding sexual harassment in the workplace. Presentations can be introductory or general information about sexual harassment in the workplace, or more specific to an organization or industry.
For Elgin-Oxford, Elspeth Graham can be contacted by phone at 519-633-2638 or toll free at 1-866-611-2311. For Huron Perth, Elspeth Graham can be contacted by phone at 519-271-4556 or toll free at 1-866-867-1027. Elspeth Graham can also be contacted by email at theshiwproject@gmail.com.
