Panel 4 - Ending violence and harassment in the world of work

Apr 7, 2022 | 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Description

Work-related violence and harassment have increased as a result of the pandemic and this has often taken the form of gender-based violence. Essential workers and those suspected of being contagious with COVID-19 have also been at risk of stigmatisation, discrimination, and violence. This panel will look at the measures taken by governments and social partners to address this problem.
