Abstract

sexual harassment interns apprentices schools
French companies are required to put more programs in place to address sexist and sexual violence in the workplace. They are requested to respond promptly to cases to discrimination and harassment, and to be diligent in their protection of all their employees. However, our recent research project shows how many cases of sexual harassment targeting precarious workers – and particularly relevant for schools and Universities: interns and apprentices – recurringly go unpunished. In this short article, we summarize this research that shows how anti-harassment programs supposed to protect all workers tend to be less efficient to protect these more precarious workers. Based on these findings, we recommend that business schools and any higher education institution put in place further measures to protect their students during their first, often precarious, professional experiences.
