Gender-based violence is a big concern in hospitality – and women bear the brunt of managing it

"Gender-based violence, particularly sexual harassment, is a serious and
persistent problem across the workforce.

But our new research paints a concerning picture of the extent of the problem
in the hospitality industry.

We interviewed 124 hospitality workers in Melbourne and Newcastle from a range
of different bars, restaurants and cafes.

We found young women, queer and gender diverse workers are on the front line in
responding to and managing the threat of gender-based violence in their venues.

Women bar workers were also routinely seen as “better suited” to manage the
threat of violence."
