Promoting decent work for women and men free of violence

At a time when ending violence against women has taken centre stage in the international media, is high on the political agenda in many countries, and is the topic of this year’s United Nations Commission on the Status of Women, International Women’s Day 2013 presents an important opportunity for the ILO to host a world-of-work discussion on how to stop violence at work.

This tripartite discussion would effectively share good practices and allow the ILO to take concrete measures to support the Government, workers and employers in their common will to put an end to violence in the workplace.
