Gender-based violence shelters need to provide immediate assistance to victims and survivors of violence instead of employing lockdown policies amounting to indirect discrimination.
If a workplace does not ensure it is a safe environment by taking direct action against perpetrators, it can be held accountable for the actions of its employees.
With one in five men admitting to assisting in sexual assault, it is vital that those who abet perpetrators be deemed liable.
