Unions NSW would like to invite you to the online launch of our 16 Days of Action for the Elimination of Violence against Women and the new workplace resource “Working From Home Isn’t Safe When Home Isn’t Safe: How to respond to family & domestic violence in home-based workplaces.”

For many people experiencing family violence their workplace is the only safe place. It is a space where arrangements can be safely made to leave family violence. Working from home has now made workplaces unsafe for many workers.
