16 Days of Activism is designed to help businesses protect their staff against domestic abuse and gender-based violence.

These issues have become more acute with an increase in working from home but there is still plenty that companies can do to support the welfare of their staff and protect them from harm. Colleagues can be trained in spotting the signs of economic, psychological, emotional and physical abuse; HR and management teams can provide victims with the details of specialist support organisations; and remote working practices can be adapted to provide places of safety.
