Safer workplaces

Transforming workplace culture through safety, respect, and empowerment

Addressing harassment through safety and awareness

80% of female garment workers and almost three-quarters of female students report experiences of harassment or abuse.

BRAC works to strengthen safety in workplaces in Bangladesh by fostering a culture of safety and safeguarding. Our approach combines policy enforcement with cultural transformation, training workers, students, and managers in harassment prevention and mobilising men at grassroots hubs like tea stalls.
