Cary Brown, Executive Director of the Vermont Commission on Women, announced new resources available today from the Workplaces For All public education program, workplacesforall.vermont.gov, to make workers, employers, and all Vermonters aware of laws that apply to them, their legal rights, methods of reporting, where to find information, strategies for prevention, and ways to address sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

Vermont’s new law addressing sexual harassment included an allocation for Vermont Commission on Women (VCW) to coordinate development of a public education and outreach program designed to make workers, employers, and all Vermonters aware of methods of reporting, where to find information, strategies for prevention, and ways to address sexual harassment in the workplace.  

We’ve issued two Requests for Proposals (RFPs) for this project.
