25 August 2020: Family domestic violence, what can workplaces do? [Catalyse and High Commission of Canada]

August 17th, 2020 | Employment and Labour Rights, Events, Gender-based Violence, News

As millions of people work from home, a new outbreak is growing—family domestic violence (FDV). Now that home has become the workplace for many, employers are recognising that family domestic violence often negatively impacts workplace productivity. Moreover, studies show that a high proportion of FDV victims confide in their colleagues about the situation.

Progressive workplaces (including some in Singapore) have started to implement FDV policies, provide benefits to support employees who experience domestic violence, and to train their managers and employees to support colleagues experiencing FDV.

Catalyse presents a panel discussion in collaboration with the High Commission of Canada in Singapore. Panelists include Barbara MacQuarrie, Community Director of CREVAWC; Corinna Lim, Executive Director of AWARE; and Roslina Chai, Managing Director of Catalyse.
