Questions for consideration
1. At the turn of the decade we are dubbing "the decade of action for the SDGs", how much of this planned action has taken stock of the progress, successes and challenges of the last four years?
2. How much of the content of the VNRs influence program development, communication, advocacy and decision making around the SDGs?
3. How can social innovators turn the challenges reported during the VNRs into opportunities to contribute to achieving the SDGs in the next 10 years?

Season 1 Ep.1 Review of the UN Women Discussion Paper- What Will It Take? Promoting Cultural Change to End Sexual Harassment.
The 2020 Podcast Collection
Show Notes
"On this episode of the DevDispatch podcast, we review the UN Women Discussion Paper titled What Will It Take? Promoting Cultural Change to End Sexual Harassment. This publication has been selected by the DevDispatch podcast in commemoration of the 2019 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence.
Link: https://www.unwomen.org/-/media/headquarters/attachments/sections/library/publications/2019/discussion-paper-what-will-it-take-promoting-cultural-change-to-end-sexual-harassment-en.pdf?
Publisher: UN Women
Author: Purna Sen, Executive Coordinator and Spokesperson on Addressing Sexual Harassment and Other Forms of Discrimination for UN Women.
Publication Year: 2019
Questions for consideration
1. What does it mean when do-good organisations, education institutions and companies declare "zero tolerance for sexual harassment"?
2. How can leadership practically encourage a victim-centred approach and an organisational culture that makes sexual harassment obsolete?
3. How do we put "zero tolerance for sexual harassment" into action?
Who is the publication for?
This paper is tackling the issue of sexual harassment at institutional level whether private or public. On page 11 you will find an expanded selection of target audience but in my opinion, I think this publication is relevant to management and leadership of education institutions, public and private sector entities and companies, their human resource personnel as well as their legal team. I say this because this discussion paper is in earnest a practical guide for taking zero tolerance from a phrase into action.
