Feminist Fridays #22: Unwanted Attention - Sexual Harassment and Assault in the Workplace

The recent revelation by entrepreneur Cheryl Yeoh that she was sexually assaulted by 500 Startup’s co-founder Dave McClure, has shone a light on the oft-dismissed cases of sexual harassment and assault in work situations. Cheryl notes some troubling industry norms that she thought needed to be changed and outlined some steps that she felt companies should take, to create safe work spaces for all in it. We discuss this issue with lawyer Honey Tan, and chart what a good workplace policy would be, to address sexual harassment.
