The overall objective of the SOS project was to systematically strengthen prevention, awareness and response to workplace sexual harassment through innovative and accessible adult education.The project focused on several interconnected objectives. First, strengthening systemic responsibility by equipping organisations with an interactive self-assessment tool to identify gaps in internal policies and workplace culture, supporting the shift from formal rules to everyday practice. Second, digital transformation of learning through the development of an 8-module online course adapted to Slovak and Norwegian legal and cultural contexts, strengthening participants’ ability to recognise “grey zone” behaviours and understand reporting mechanisms.The project also aimed to ensure inclusion by providing flexible and accessible learning opportunities for high-risk groups, particularly women in male-dominated sectors. Through transnational cooperation with KUN, it enabled the transfer of advanced expertise in gender equality and strengthened the European dimension of the project. Finally, it contributed to cultural change by fostering open dialogue, challenging stigma and strengthening confidence in safe and effective reporting.
Female algorithm has been working for over five years in women’s education, gender equality and DEI in the workplace, acting as a bridge between employees and employers. We work directly with companies through training, consultations on organisational culture and the development of safe reporting mechanisms, while also educating women in digital skills and leadership. Based on this direct experience, we have a clear understanding of real workplace situations and systemic gaps.KUN applied for this project because sexual harassment in working life remains a serious and often underreported problem, with clear consequences for employees’ safety, wellbeing and equal participation. With over 30 years of experience in equality and anti-discrimination, KUN brings strong expertise in prevention and policy development.From these complementary perspectives, the SOS project emerged. Both organisations identified not only a lack of awareness, but also a lack of practical, accessible and language-adapted tools to help individuals recognise boundaries and support organisations in implementing effective prevention. The project therefore addressed the need for structured education, organisational support and scalable solutions for diverse groups.
