The main objective is reporting and eliminating the continuous manifestations of violence that face women workers in the Americas
In an attempt to mitigate this situation, the trade union movement has brought before the International Labour Organization ILO’s Governing Body, the need for a specific ILO standard that allows fighting against violence in the workplace. Thus, ITUC and CMTA are calling on Governments to support development and implementation of such standard aimed, inter alia, at preventing gender-based violence at work and support the victims, guaranteeing them labor and social security rights.
