Celebrity-backed helpline provides free legal support to harassment victims

A dedicated legal helpline established to support women experiencing sexual harassment in the workplace has maintained its operations and expanded its reach since its inception. Launched by Rights of Women, the service provides free specialist advice to callers seeking clarity on their legal remedies and reporting options when facing unwanted conduct at work.

The helpline offers comprehensive guidance covering multiple aspects of workplace harassment cases, including understanding personal legal rights under employment law, documenting incidents for formal complaints, and navigating employer accountability procedures. Advisors assist callers in identifying which regulatory bodies or internal mechanisms may be most appropriate for their specific circumstances.

The service was initially established with backing from high-profile supporters committed to workplace safety and gender equity initiatives. Rights of Women has positioned the helpline as a resource for individuals who may lack access to paid legal consultation or feel uncertain about the formal complaint process.

The continued operation of the service underscores persistent workplace challenges related to sexual harassment across multiple sectors. Legal experts note that access to accurate information about rights and procedures remains crucial for workers considering formal action against employers or colleagues.

Women seeking advice can contact the helpline to speak with trained legal specialists who provide information at no cost, helping callers understand their options and next steps in addressing workplace harassment.
