‘I'm still in disbelief': Ex-Swillhouse staff take fight global with tears, dancing and packed bars
A campaign to end sexual violence and harassment within the hospitality sector, led by former employees of high-profile Sydney hospitality group Swillhouse, is going global in June following the success of their Australian fundraising tour. The Sorry Not Sorry Collective, made up of Rachelle (Rocky) Hair, Jenna Hemsworth, Alex Hooker, Brittany Rowe and Reuby Kahl, allege they were sexually harassed, assaulted or discriminated against while working for Swillhouse, as revealed in a series of reports published by The Sydney Morning Herald and Good Food in August. Their stories sent shockwaves through Australia's hospitality community, where sexual harassment is prevalent but rarely discussed publicly, and they paved the way for other alleged victims to come forward. It also prompted a SafeWork NSW investigation into the Swillhouse Group, and led to compulsory sexual violence prevention training for all staff working in pubs and clubs across the state. But they can do more, says Hair. In June, the ex-Swillhouse staff will take their stories international, embarking on a four-to-six week world tour with panel discussions and bar takeovers in Singapore, Hong Kong, Spain and Britain.
