## Resource

Fortescue faces a major class action lawsuit alleging systemic sexual harassment and violence against female workers at remote mine sites, including Christmas Creek — with claims ranging from unwanted advances to assaults and even warnings not to wash underwear due to theft. The suit targets the company’s alleged failure to protect employees over two decades, echoing similar lawsuits against BHP and Rio Tinto. Fortescue denies wrongdoing and says it’s committed to safety, but refuses further comment while legal proceedings continue — highlighting a troubling pattern across the mining industry demanding urgent cultural and policy reform.
