#Antisexualharassment policies define what constitutes sexual harassment for organizations, how to lodge complaints, the compensation available for the victims as well as the punishment for the offenders. These policies protect women from being harassed in the working space.

Today marks #InternationalDayofZeroToleranceForFGM, #GenCED joins the campaign to advocate for the rights of girls. In a world where girls grow up free from this harmful practice, gender equality is ensured. #EndFGM #BreakTheSilence #ZeroTolerance #StandingWithWHRDs!
