Webinar Details:

Even after MeToo’s public victories, professional women writers still face discrimination and harassment. On Tuesday, Sept. 14 from 3 to 4 p.m. ET, ASBPE hosted an intergenerational, international webcast with speakers who addressed ways for women to identify and protect themselves from problematic behavior in the workplace, fight back against discrimination and find inspiration as they look for ways to create safer, more inclusive working conditions for all. While legal means exist in some countries to confront outright harassment and discrimination, workplace culture can still make women feel unwelcome and shamed into tolerating degrading and even illegal behavior. We discussed specific ways women and allies can advocate for an equitable workplace culture and hold space for women to speak up and be heard about injustice.

The webinar was hosted by Sophia Bennett, a member of ASBPE’s board of directors. Panelists include: Diane Brazil, Dr. Leah Leach, Dr. Karen McLean and Jaylan Salah.
