Fact Sheets
Kingsford Legal Centre, in conjunction with Asian Women at Work (AWAW), created the Women at Work factsheets to provide vital information to women experiencing challenges in the workplace.
Each factsheet features a case study focusing on a common workplace issue women face and outlines preventative steps, as well as legal and non-legal avenues for dealing with workplace issues.
