Workplace Harassment

If you have experienced harassment at work, you can send your story to the Media Entertainment & Arts Alliance team at [email protected]. The MEAA team is here to support you, to give advice and to help you to take action if you wish to do so. Women in Media supports this MEAA initiative and believes that gathering such stories is a first step in understanding how widely this problem may affect our industry.

NB: BEFORE YOU CONTACT MEAA

We are able to protect your confidence if you do not name or identify the alleged offender in your account to us. If you do name or identify an alleged offender, MEAA will be legally obliged to report this to Police, even if you don’t want MEAA to do so. MEAA does not like being in this position and we are sorry that is the way it is. However if you refrain from naming the alleged offender, your story will not go beyond MEAA and no further action will be taken without your explicit consent. We will then be able to advise you of your options in progressing the matter – or not – either through your place of work or through the Police. You may also like to request some moral or practical support from Women in Media nationally or in your state.
