Introduction
In today's rapidly evolving world, workplaces are becoming more diverse, inclusive, and global.
With this transformation comes the need for organizations, especially international ones, to prioritize the safety and well-being of their employees. One critical aspect of this is preventing sexual harassment in the workplace.
Welcome to the Executive Certificate Course in Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace in International Organisations: US, UK, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai.
Sexual harassment is a pervasive issue that affects people across various industries, backgrounds, and levels of seniority. It can harm not only the individuals involved but also the overall productivity, reputation, and culture of an organization.
This course aims to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and tools needed to effectively address and prevent sexual harassment within international organizations
Why This Course Matters
Sexual harassment knows no borders. It can happen anywhere, and its consequences are felt by everyone. Whether you're a leader, HR professional, or employee, understanding how to prevent and respond to sexual harassment is vital.
Consider the case of an international organization with offices in the US, UK, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai.
To illustrate the significance of our course, let's consider a hypothetical case study:
Meet Sarah, a dedicated professional working in a renowned international organization based in Dubai. She had a promising career ahead of her until she started experiencing unwelcome advances from a colleague. Unsure about how to address this issue, Sarah struggled in silence, fearing retaliation and the potential harm to her reputation.
Meanwhile, the organization's reputation suffered as well. Word of Sarah's experiences began to spread among her colleagues, tarnishing the organization's image as a safe and respectful workplace. Morale plummeted, and the organization's productivity and efficiency declined as employees grappled with fear, mistrust, and uncertainty.
Now, imagine if Sarah and her colleagues had access to our Executive Certificate Course in Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace in International Organizations. Sarah would have known how to report the harassment, and her organization would have had robust policies and procedures in place to address her concerns promptly and confidentially.
Our course isn't just about compliance with laws and regulations; it's about creating a culture of respect, empathy, and accountability. By enrolling in this course, you'll become part of a global movement committed to eradicating sexual harassment from workplaces, ensuring the dignity and well-being of every individual, just like Sarah.
In such a diverse and dynamic setting, cultural norms, legal frameworks, and workplace dynamics can vary significantly. Without proper training and awareness, navigating these differences and ensuring a safe and respectful work environment can be challenging.
This course will empower you with a comprehensive understanding of the laws and regulations related to sexual harassment in these countries, helping you avoid costly legal battles, reputational damage, and most importantly, the harm inflicted on individuals.
By implementing best practices in preventing sexual harassment, you contribute to fostering a culture of respect, trust, and equality within your organization.

Can I get remote freelance work after doing this course?
At LawSikho, we have two types of students: those who already possess good legal skills and those who are in the process of learning. We believe in enabling our learners to start earning from their knowledge without delay.
For students enrolled in the Executive Certificate Course in Prevention of Sexual Harassment at Workplace in International Organisations, which covers the US, UK, Canada, Singapore, and Dubai, we provide opportunities to enhance their professional-level legal skills.
However, we understand that acquiring professional-level skills takes time. For those who are still developing their legal skills, we provide alternative work opportunities such as writing articles, conducting research, legal transcription, data entry, law firm administration, social media management, and more. Some students even engage in tasks like voice-over work, data compilation, translation, and virtual assistance.
We have established a dedicated team that actively pitches to organizations in the US to help LawSikho students find remote work.
We have set up a US entity to bridge the trust gap between US legal professionals and an organization operating from India.
We focus on getting learners their first three clients, guiding them in crafting impressive proposals. By the time they secure these initial clients, learners become well-adjusted to the process and can independently attract more clients.
They build their CVs and profiles with real work experience and testimonials, opening doors to numerous opportunities.
Getting started is often the hardest part, but at LawSikho, we make the process frictionless. We have witnessed law students earning well over $1000 per month.
Some students have earned $500 in their first month as a side gig. We have students who, after a year, now earn $10,000 per month. While some may start with $300, they make progress by learning new skills, improving their profiles, and pitching for higher-paying work.
Between April 2021 and June 2023, we created over 21000+ opportunities for our learners, resulting in thousands of students securing freelance work. The total value of work secured amounts to over $3,30,000 (Aprox INR 2.7 Crore). Additionally, hundreds of individuals found employment, and secured internships.
Please note that these numbers represent the initial gigs facilitated directly by us or those on which we actively collaborated with the learners. Students have also secured additional work beyond our tracking
