Join the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Women’s Bureau for this interactive session to explore how employers, workers, and local, state and federal government leaders are implementing successful strategies to prevent and address gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in the world of work to achieve greater equity and inclusion by using the principles of ILO Convention 190 (C190), the world’s first-ever labor standard that gives all workers the right to be free from violence and harassment in the world of work, including GBVH. This session will spotlight models of collaboration and dialogue that have generated impactful education and training, workplace policies, legislation and other initiatives designed to produce culture change. Attendees will learn about C190 principles that have the potential to broaden their perspective on GBVH to achieve a more fair and inclusive workplace.

Learning Objectives:

  • Describe ILO C190 and how it can be used as a tool to prevent and address gender-based violence and harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace.
  • Explain what GBVH is, its impacts and root causes.
  • Apply knowledge of ILO C190 and GBVH to develop practical mechanisms to prevent and address gender-based violence and harassment, including sexual harassment, in the workplace.
