Most women fundis work on sites where harassment goes unchecked. Simple systems can change that: a clear point person, safe reporting, proper induction, and real follow-up. Safe sites reduce conflict, improve focus, and boost productivity for everyone.

SAFEGUARDS ON SITE PREVENT VIOLENCE, ABUSE, AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT
A safe site needs simple systems:
• A clear way to report
• Basic training during induction
• Supervisors who act
• Real consequences
• Regular toolbox talks
• A safe place to escalate issues
• Follow-ups

Strong cabinetry starts with strong fundamentals.

Sophia used to lay tiles without proper gear, facing daily risks from sharp tools and harsh adhesives.
Now, through Dunga Gear, Kaa Rada!, she works safer and stronger. 💪🏽
