Eliminating and Preventing Violence and Harassment at the Workplace

CAPACITY BUILDING

Description:
The legal definition of violence is not static; it evolves over time and varies across countries and regions. However, in 2013, ILO Convention No. 190 provided a broad definition of violence and harassment, offering a common basic understanding while allowing flexibility in legislation. The primary goal of the Convention is to protect the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of workers.

In this training, labor inspectors from Armenia engaged in challenging and enriching discussions about physical, psychological, sexual, and gender-based violence in the workplace. They explored and developed strategies to prevent, identify, and effectively address these issues. This training equips them with a more solid understanding to better identify and address violence and harassment in their future inspections.

“We are still working on regulating violence and harassment at the workplace. However, the Guide, Tools, and Training you provided are very helpful. They give us a good starting point to identify cases of violence and help employers create their own systems”.
