The government must also ensure that legislation against sexual violence is enforced, police stations are safe & welcoming for women to make complaints, SGBV cases are fast-tracked, & fundings for programmes that educate & advocate for women& #39;s rights.

@elsamafiedsilva also recommends that corporations have policies that effectively address sexual harassment at the workplace. The workplace culture should also not be one that promotes a hostile work environment for women.
