These recommendations are made within the context of a broader framework of activities to address the key drivers of these behaviour.
\nThere is specific evidence of the beneficial effects of promoting gender equality within the workplace. Strategies that focus on primary prevention help to address the key drivers of sexual harassment and discrimination before the problem occurs. To this end, this submission details a number of primary prevention recommendations and we urge the College of Surgeons to pay particular attention to these matters.
\nThis submission also draws on previous research the Commission has undertaken into discrimination and sexual harassment, and the Commission’s current work on the Independent Review into Sex Discrimination, Sexual Harassment and Predatory Behaviour within Victoria Police.
