The question

To ask the Minister for Women and Equalities, what steps she is taking with Cabinet colleagues to tackle workplace sexual harassment.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

The Office for Equality and Opportunity is working closely with the Home Office to deliver on our landmark mission to halve violence against women and girls in a decade.

We are also working with the Department for Business and Trade to progress the Employment Rights Bill. As part of this, we will strengthen protections against harassment and sexual harassment in the course of employment, by introducing three amendments to the Equality Act 2010.
