- I planned and conducted a population level survey on the prevalence of sexual harassment in Finland, analyzed the findings using both both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods and prepared materials for the advocacy campaign based on the results. - Conducted a desk review on UN resources and initiative on tackling sexual harassment in the UN-system and conceptualized them into the Finnish concept, resulting in a Safe at work toolkit for Finnish employers and managers on how to prevent and eliminate sexual harassment in the world of work. The toolkit consists of, e.g., checklist for managers, four concrete steps to take for creating a safe working environment free from harassment, UN Women’s recommendations on how to prevent and eliminate SH in the workplace, tips on how to conduct a 360 survey on SH (including a template for the survey), and an intersectionality checklist.- Prepared speaking points, policy briefs and statements on different subjects for various purposes, for example for meetings with government officials and media.- Applied for institutional funding, and screening new funding opportunities for the organization.
