[Video] Harmful Traditional Practices in the Workplace - Guidance for Best Practice 2020

Abstract

This guidance raises awareness of harmful traditional practices (HTPs) to help organisations address this hidden form of abuse. Our recommendations are based on a Rapid Evidence Review of the most up-to-date research, and consultation with a select expert advisory panel who have extensive academic and working knowledge of HTPs.

Honour Abuse Research Matrix (HARM) is an international consortium of researchers, practitioners, policy makers and support agencies, working to research and pioneer strategies to eliminate harmful practices, including ‘honour’ abuse, forced marriage, and female genital mutilation (FGM).

HARM was funded by Research England to produce this jargon-free, evidence-based, workplace guidance for best practice so organisations and their employees feel motivated, confident and empowered to respond appropriately when they suspect or encounter HTPs.
