National Survey on Harassment and Violence at Work

Please take the Survey and help in this important effort.

The Centre for Research & Education on Violence Against Women & Children at Western University is working with researchers at the University of Toronto and the Canadian Labour Congress to launch a national survey on workplace harassment and violence.

“This survey will help us understand workers’ experiences of violence and harassment in Canada. Until we have that understanding, we have little chance of preventing harassment before it starts. All workers deserve to feel safe in their workplace.”

— Hassan Yussuff, President of the Canadian Labour Congress
