I meant personal supports, definitely, and that's maybe something we don't have a lot of control over—family, friends. We have very little in the way of organized support in the community for people who are experiencing workplace sexual harassment.
In Ontario we have a whole network of sexual assault centres. Through our research we found that most women didn't turn to sexual assault centres for support. They didn't see themselves as fitting the mandate. Sometimes sexual assault centres weren't prepared to provide the support that was needed there, and there was simply no other place to go.
You can go to a generic counselling agency, and they may or may not have any particular understanding of the dynamics of workplace harassment, workplace sexual harassment, or gendered harassment. This is something we have brought up in the past. We have a real need for a network of community supports that have people in place who really understand harassment and are able to offer appropriate support, appropriate advice sometimes, for moving forward with a complaint.
