Rosa is a brand-new initiative designed to provide digital access to justice and training around workplace sexual harassment. Rosa was created because workers need to know more about the law, reporting bodies and what to expect when and if they report. Rosa is a collaboration between Aftermetoo and Canadian Women’s Foundation.

As part of your job, you will write articles around workplace sexual harassment, law, culture and society.  Some of these pieces may include narrative journalism, Q and A’s, essays and short form narrative journalism. You’ll be working with the Legal Manager and the Director of Rosa.
