Prevention and fight against sexual and gender-based violence

L'Iceberg de la Violence Sexiste

Sexism

Manifestations of sexism at work are multifaceted, can be experienced differently by those who experience it, and can have repercussions on employees’ working lives.

[…..]

A number of acts and behaviours based on sex (discrimination or insults on the grounds of sex) or with sexual connotations (sexual harassment, etc.) already targeted by the law, by what is known as “ordinary sexism” is the subject of a specific provision in the Labour Code concerning the prohibition of “all sexist behaviour“, (law of 17 August 2015 on social dialogue and employment). The law of 8 August 2016 on labour, the modernisation of social dialogue and the securing of professional careers reinforced these provisions.

Excerpts from the KIT POUR AGIR CONTRE LE SEXISME

– Trois outils pour le monde du travail

A tool to fight sexism

Supported by the Conseil supérieur de l’Égalité professionnelle entre les femmes et les hommes (CSEP) a kit ” Agir contre le sexisme au travail “ is available to all; it contains reference sheets for victims of sexist behaviour, employers, human resources departments and staff representatives, and proposes ten levers of action to act within the company against sexism.

A tool to raising awareness against ordinary sexism

A plateform dedicated to ordinary sexism has been created by the French Ministry of the Armed Forces. This awareness and information tool has been designed to understand and fight against ordinary sexism.
