Staff at Google offices around the world are staging an unprecedented series of walkouts in protest at the company's treatment of women.
The employees are demanding several key changes in how sexual misconduct allegations are dealt with at the firm, including a call to end forced arbitration ‑ a move which would make it possible for victims to sue.
Google chief executive Sundar Pichai has told staff he supports their right to take the action.
A Twitter feed titled @googlewalkout has documented the movement at Google's international offices.
