I co-lead the Sexual Harassment and Gender-Based Discrimination Spoke of Utah's A Bolder Way Forward Movement. https://www.usu.edu/uwlp/a-bolder-way-forward/sexual-harassment-gender-based-discriminationNational and statewide studies continue to show that women and girls in Utah are not thriving in critical areas. Year after year, Utah continues to have high levels of domestic violence, sexual assault, child sexual abuse, and gender-based discrimination, while also ranking as the worst state for women’s equality and having low levels of women’s leadership representation in nearly all domains, including politics and business. Although the needle has moved slightly in a few areas, with its current trajectory it will take two, three, or even four decades to make notable progress. It is time for Utah to embrace A Bolder Way Forward (BWF). When we lift Utah girls and women, we lift all Utahns!The Sexual Harassment & Gender-based Discrimination spoke values the fundamental dignity and quality of all people. Sexual harassment behaviors such as unwanted touching, jokes and slurs, and unwelcome questions contribute to a feeling of fear and trepidation. This is amplified when women experience unfair treatment, shame, marginalization, and blatant disregard due to their gender. According to research, either or both of these experiences diminish a woman’s sense of self-respect, confidence, and security. For women to speak up and lead out, and even just participate in society as an equal contributor, they need to feel safe and respected. This spoke focuses on ways that Utah can decrease sexual harassment and a variety of other types of gender-based discrimination.For a more in-depth overview of the Bolder Way Forward, watch the 15-minute video presentation here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9sVG6kKYUVo.
