About the Sexual Harassment in the Workplace (SHIW) Project
The Sexual Harassment in the Workplace (SHIW) Project exists to address sexual harassment in the workplace. To accomplish this, the Department of Justice Canada has provided funding to the project for five years.
Through the SHIW Project, legal clinics throughout Ontario are working to reduce sexual harassment in the workplace and improve access to justice.
The Huron Perth Community Legal Clinic (HPLC) and the Elgin-Oxford Legal Clinic (EOLC) are working together on this project to address sexual harassment in the workplace in the areas covered by both clinics.
