gender-based violence

War always has a gender dimension. Too often, we have borne witness to gender-based violence in wars and in conflict zones. We call for an end to attacks, for peace, dialogue and justice.

To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, the ETF is taking a stand. Not only are we continuing to call on governments to ratify the ILO Violence and Harassment Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206; we are also releasing our Workplace Guidance to address violence and harassment against women at work.

Now it's time to ensure that governments in Europe ratify and implement the Convention. The ETF Women’s Committee urges all ETF trade unions to promote fair and violence-free workplaces for women transport workers.

More pay! More time! More respect! That's the demand from hundreds of thousands of women in Switzerland, who are still denied their constitutional right to equal pay while facing higher levels of unemployment and gender-based violence.

Women workers face terrible violence and harrassment - and transport workers are some of the most affected. Today we asked the European Commission and the Romanian EU Presidency to push for an ILO Convention on violence and harassment in the world of work at the centenary ILO Conference next week in Geneva.
