Presentación del curso
Violence and harassment in the world of work are a threat to the dignity, security, health and well-being of everyone, affecting not only workers and employers, but also their families, communities, economies and society at large. In June 2019, through the adoption of ILO Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206, the global community made it clear that this phenomenon cannot be tolerated, and the world needs to be equipped to put a stop to it. What are the transformative elements which make these new instruments truly ground-breaking? What is the language used and why are such choices important in tackling this phenomenon effectively? What are the provisions, the tools, the strategies? What are the roles and responsibilities of different stakeholders in the world of work? What are the good practices being adopted, and where do you start when it comes to sensitizing others, building engagement and advocating for positive change?
¿Quiénes participan en este curso?
