New findings from The Mental Awareness, Respect and Safety (MARS) Program Landmark Study, led by John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker and funded through a grant from the WA Government’s MARS Program, show reports of unwanted sexual attention and sexual coercion are decreasing, but being put down or condescended to based on gender, and receiving offensive sexist remarks, remain common themes in Western Australia’s mining sector.

Congratulations to report authors Dr Cheryl Yam, John Curtin Distinguished Professor Sharon Parker, Dr Melissa Chapman, Dr Lucinda Iles (Future of Work Institute), Dr Jacqueline Hendriks and Professor Sharyn Burns (Collaboration for Evidence, Research and Impact in Public Health, Curtin School of Population Health) for a successful launch.
