In study after study, students and employees report that they regularly experience incivility, sexual harassment, assault and discrimination in schools and workplaces. Soteria Solutions was founded by Sharyn Potter and Jane Stapleton, who previously founded the University of New Hampshire's Prevention Innovations Research Center. Sharyn and Jane have dedicated their careers to researching and developing the most effective strategies to both respond to and prevent sexual and interpersonal violence and harassment. A 501(c)(3) organization, Soteria Solutions has successfully implemented solutions at some of America’s largest corporations, federal agencies and hundreds of colleges and high schools.
Make work a place where harassment is recognized, prevented and never tolerated.
Campuses should be places of learning, not fear and violation.
Bullying and assault are learned. So are respect and bystander engagement.
A new report from Futures Without Violence and the National Domestic Violence Hotline shows that domestic and sexual violence often follow survivors into the workplace, undermining safety, performance, and economic stability. With 79% of survivors reporting that abuse made work harder (and most never disclosing) organizations that adopt survivor-centered policies, trauma-informed communication, and bystander training can break the cycle of silence while strengthening retention, trust, and productivity.
Harassment, bullying, and discrimination are often hidden risks but on ships, isolation, long contracts, and steep hierarchies make the stakes even higher. The IMO’s #MyHarassmentFreeShip campaign calls for zero tolerance but real change requires more than policy.
