A range of material from the TUC Library on the subject of sexual harassment, 1980s-present.

As the media today highlights research undertaken by the TUC that more than half of women report having been sexually harassed at work, the image above shows that it is an issue the trade union movement has been campaigning around for many decades.

The TUC Library contains a collection of reports and leaflets on the subject that date back to the 1970s, when it began to be taken more seriously as a campaigning issue. Our material includes leaflets from the TUC, unions, government departments, the Equality and Human Rights Commission, etc. It also contains other material, such as posters (like this poster from the Local Government Officers union in the 1980s).

We also have the most recent publications from the TUC on the subject, such as this Protection from Sexual Harassment: Know Your Rights guide published earlier this year.
