This report focuses on the management of violence and harassment through measures on occupational safety and health (OSH). It examines the concept of violence and harassment at workplace as well as influencing interrelated factors. It also focuses on the OSH regulatory frameworks, which include both ILO and regional instruments and national regulations. It specifically looks at workplace inspections and the role of collective agreements. The report suggests ways to address the problem through design and implementation of workplace policy and risk management process, to help assess risks associated with violence and harassment. It concludes with a number of suggestions for actors involved in violence and harassment at work like governments, labour inspectorates, employers and workers.
The overall aim of this policy brief is to assess the implementation of the women, peace and security (WPS) policy framework in the work of the United Nations (UN) Security Council. The analysis and recommendations build on our well-established policy guidance project, the Monthly Action Points (MAP) on Women, Peace and Security, as well as broader advocacy throughout 2019. This policy brief also highlights key trends that are addressed by the recommendations presented in the NGO Working Group’s 2020 Civil Society Roadmap on Women, Peace and Security.
