Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund
Too often women remain silent about sexual harassment in the workplace, for fear that their employers will see them as a “nuisance” and do nothing at all to help them, or worse – penalize them for the “trouble” they cause. Not all women who are harassed can afford the legal fees that would be required to fight their harasser in court, and/or the company that did not protect them. The Time’s Up Legal Defense Fund is backed by the National Women’s Law Center and helps provide legal assistance to women battling sexual harassment cases in court. Their umbrella group, the Time’s Up Foundation, also spearheads research to provide solutions to inequality in the workplace, as well as shift workplace culture to be more hospitable to women.
