 PUBLISHED BY: International Labour Organisation (ILO)

 WHO IS THIS FOR: The report highlights the pervasive issue of violence and harassment (V&H) in workplaces worldwide, affecting more than one in five employed individuals. It underscores the significant impact of V&H on individuals, enterprises, and society, exacerbated by evolving work conditions like digitalisation and work-life balance challenges.

The report emphasises the importance of adopting comprehensive strategies, including the ILO Violence and Harassment Convention (No. 190) and occupational safety and health (OSH) measures, to prevent and address V&H, while also examining different national approaches and the effectiveness of collective bargaining agreements and legal frameworks in tackling this issue. Those working in the fields of gender and work, harassment at work, ratifying C190 and related issues, will find this useful.
