The Violet Project is underway

The Slovak National Center for Human Rights coordinates the consortium for the project “Violet: Towards Workplaces Without Sexual Harassment,” which we initiated this week with a joint meeting in Bratislava on May 27 and 28. Project is co-funded by EU under the CERV-2024-DAPHNE programme.

In the initial months of the project, we will focus on preparing research related to sexual harassment in employment relationships, which will encompass both legal analysis and an examination of the prevalence and utilization of available protective measures. Considering the various legal frameworks of the participating countries, such research will necessitate a deeper discussion and careful consideration. It is precisely with the acknowledgment of different professional challenges that an expert seminar will assist us, which will take place once again in Bratislava on September 16-17. During the meeting, we discussed the agenda, the necessary expertise of the guests and hosts, and the anticipated outcomes.
