Solidarity Center Report: New Video to End Gender-Based Violence at Work

11/30/2020

 
As the global labor community mobilizes during 16 Days of Action Against Gender-Based Violence (Nov. 25-Dec 10), the Solidarity Center released a new tool for the campaign to end gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) at work. The educational video (below) explains GBVH at work, describes how the new International Labor Organization Convention 190 can address it and how union activists can take the next steps to ensure it is ratified by countries around the world. It highlights how C190 is effective only if governments formally endorse it and pass laws implementing it. Find out more at the Solidarity Center.
