Workplace harassment is an issue that often goes unreported by victims or bystanders. Many studies report that as many as 85% of women have experienced some form of sexual harassment at work.
Join us for a conversation about gender discrimination at work! Our speakers will be discussing the meaning of gender bias and what it looks like, intentional discrimination, implicit bias, and more. We'll also be discussing work-life balance, and how women can empower each other personally and professionally.
What to expect:
- In depth conversation about gender discrimination at work
- Delicious dinner
- Opportunity to connect with other attendees.
