About the organisation
Our vision is a world free from Public Sexual Harassment.
A world which empowers, listens to and believes survivors, and which challenges this culture of gender-based violence and intersecting forms of oppression, rather than upholding it.
Since our launch in 2019, we’ve worked with universities, sports teams, workplaces and local authorities to lead on work to make public spaces safer. We have facilitated workshops with over 5,000 staff, students and professionals and given expert testimony to parliament on the impact of public sexual harassment in places of education. And, in 2023, we changed the law, making public sexual harassment a criminal offence.
About the role
The Treasurer will need to have the time to give to the role to ensure the effective financial management of the organisation. There are a maximum of eleven board meetings a year (monthly) typically lasting 2 hours per meeting held in the evening. We estimate around two days per month for this role.
