Ultimately, a safe and harassment-free workplace is also a productive workplace. I want to thank the Australian Government for supporting this ground-breaking and world-first inquiry. I also want to acknowledge the legacy and leadership of the people, especially women’s advocates and women’s organisations, who have fought against sexual harassment from the beginning. This report builds upon and advances your work. Finally, I want to thank the team of dedicated and passionate individuals at the Commission who worked on the Inquiry. #MeToo, #LetHerSpeak, #TimesUp, #BalanceTonPorc, #NotYourHabibti, #Teknisktfel, #QuellaVoltaChe, #YoTambien and similar movements have ignited a global discussion about sexual harassment and gender inequality. Victims who have for too long been silenced have found their individual and collective voice. There is an urgency for change. There is the momentum for reform. By adopting the multifaceted and wholeof-community response outlined in this report, Australia can reclaim its position as leaders in tackling sexual harassment and provide employers with the guidance they need, and victims the support and redress they deserve.
