What is the Sexual Harassment and Assault Resource Exchange?
The Sexual Harassment and Assault Resource Exchange (SHARE) is a service that supports all workers in Ontario with experiences of workplace sexual harassment, workplace-related sexual assault, and gender-based harassment in the workplace. We provide free, confidential legal advice to workers about all legal and non-legal options to address their experience.
Services are available to all workers regardless of age, immigration status, or income.
Our goal is to support diverse groups of workers and empower them with legal information to make informed decisions about which steps, if any, they would like to take.
