Sexual harassment in the workplace. | Shavanah Taj | TEDxButeStreet

Sexual harassment is a pressing issue that requires open and transparent conversations. The 'Me Too' movement has empowered individuals to speak out confidently against a problem that detrimentally affects the health and well-being of people in the workplace. As the General Secretary of the TUC Wales, Shavanah Taj is actively urging workplaces to confront this issue head-on, supporting individuals in finding their voice and encouraging them to speak out. Shavanah Taj is Wales TUC’s first BME General Secretary. She joined Wales TUC in February 2019 from the Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS), where she had been the Welsh Secretary since 2013, having served as national union official since 2012. Shavanah is a passionate campaigner and can often be found contributing speeches at round table debates and protest marches on issues such as anti-racism, human rights, women’s rights, fair pay, fair work and creating an equitable, sustainable green economy that delivers positive, long lasting changes for workers and the communities in which they live and work. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
