If women are hired but cannot stay due to harassment risk what intervention is more necessary?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A safe workplace, an effective grievance mechanism, and timely action on complaints along with recruitment

Increasing recruitment targets may improve entry, but it does not solve the safety and retention problem. Exam tip: In gender-equity questions, consider safety, dignity, and retention along with access to jobs.
