The project objective is to ensure that the National Health Workers’ Union of Liberia (NAHWUL) and the Civil Service Union of Liberia (CSUL) become active in workplaces on issues of sexual harassment.
The goal of this project is to ensure that union women committees and union leadership in NAHWUL and CSUL are well trained to engage on sexual harassment issues and workplace rights. The unions will map incidents of sexual harassment in public administration and the health sector and propose measures to reduce sexual harassment.
