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.

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
