- Description
- This paper addresses sexual harassment experiences of workers, whose economic activities are not or insufficiently covered by formal arrangements, focusing on domestic workers and farmworkers. It provides a gender analysis as well as an overview of the informal economy and of the prevalence of sexual harassment. It also summarizes international standards on sexual discrimination and discusses the lack of social and legal protection for workers in the informal economy. In the last three chapters sexual harassment in informal domestic work and farm work is analyzed, followed by suggestions for action by governments and civil society organisations.
