Grant recipients will undertake projects to prevent and respond to GBVH, which is pervasive across industries and deeply impacts the safety and economic security of women workers and survivors. Survivors of GBVH often suffer the loss of other employment rights and benefits. Grant recipients will address GBVH in the world of work by building awareness, connecting women to federal and state workplace rights and benefits, and implementing worker- and survivor-driven strategies to shift workplace norms.
