UN-Habitat has launched An app on the Prevention of Sexual Harassment and Abuse in the Workplace.

This application aims to:

• Raise awareness on the prevention and prohibition of sexual harassment and abuse in the workplace.

• Provide a single platform, a central repository, for users to easily access the necessary information about the rules and regulations that govern this type of misconduct in the United Nations (such as the attached ST/SGB/2008/5, ST/AI/2017/1 and OHRM’s Fact Sheet); including steps taken within the UN system to promote gender parity.
• Provide the necessary information on ways to report such behaviour, to whom and where.
• Access to call or email the 24-hour hotline resource being managed at UN Headquarters.
• Provide a list of frequently asked questions on sexual harassment and abuse.
