Profile

 

The «Help and Information Center on Sexual Harassment in the Workplace» was founded in 1980. In the beginning, we were a committee affiliated to the organization Rank and File, which defends the rights of non-unionized workers. However, in light of the problem of sexual harassment in the workplace, we decided to create an independent group. This marked the birth of our organization.

 

We are the only non-profit organization in Quebec that is completely dedicated to the defense of victims of sexual harassment in the workplace. In 1993, we received a provincial designation: « Help and Information Center On Sexual Harassment in the Workplace of the Province of Quebec Inc. » Furthermore, in response to the increasing needs of our clients, we have enlarged our mandate and since 2004 we also take on psychological harassment cases. Therefore, we are now also known as « Help and Information Center on Harassment in the Workplace ».
