Pledge to Eliminate Sexual Harassment in the Museum Workplace Nears 500 Signatures

  • 1.  Pledge to Eliminate Sexual Harassment in the Museum Workplace Nears 500 Signatures

    Posted 01-17-2020 09:38 AM
    Colleagues,

    The Gender Equity in Museums Movement (GEMM) invites you to make a personal commitment to eliminating sexual harassment in the museum workplace by signing its pledge at http://chng.it/zJMBGWtb

    GEMM believes museums and heritage organizations must make their workplaces safe spaces. It is important to hold ourselves and the museum field accountable.

    The pledge asks museum staff, volunteers, interns, and trustees
    • To create and nurture workplaces free of sexual assault and understanding of consent.
    • To practice zero tolerance for discrimination, harassment, and sexual violence.
    • To intervene in situations of harassment.
    • To educate myself and my professional community on issues surrounding sexism in our unique workplace.
    • To refrain from sexist and disrespectful language and to speak up against it.
    • To provide a safe place to work.
    • To be open to dialogue about museum workers' concerns and needs.
    Please take and share the pledge, and join GEMM in its commitment to affect change and promote transparent museum workspaces. http://chng.it/zJMBGWtb
