Rhode Island Women in the Trades (RIWITT) is pleased to invite you to Know Your Rights on the Jobsite, a FREE educational event organized by Rhode Island Women in the Trades, with participation from the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Rhode Island Commission for Human Rights.

This event will focus on workplace rights and legal protections for women in the construction industry, including employment discrimination, sexual harassment, retaliation, unequal treatment, and barriers to employment, training, and advancement.

The panel discussion will bring together representatives from government agencies, construction industry stakeholders, and workers to discuss applicable workplace protections, reporting procedures, enforcement mechanisms, and resources available to individuals experiencing potential violations of employment and civil rights laws.

Presented by Story Center.

The workshop includes five group meetings in addition to individual support. Through engagement in the workshop activities and individual assignments, participants will:

• Identify a personal story for their project

• Craft a written narrative or script

• Create an audio recording of the narrative

• Assemble photos, video clips and sound files to accompany the voiceover

• Edit and finalize a video

This workshop requires attendance at five online sessions on consecutive Tuesdays, November 17, 2026 - December 15, 2026. Each session is two hours and begins at 9 am Pacific Time/ 12 pm Eastern Time.
