ILO CONVENTION 190

Get ME home safely: ETF and transport unions across Europe advocate for safe commuting as a political, employer, and local community obligation.

ILO Violence and Harassment Convention 190 – the first international treaty to address violence and harassment - comes into force. ETF continues to call on countries to ratify, but unions are already taking action and can use ETF's Workplace Guidance to put the topic on the agenda.

"In the transport sector, violence and harassment are still often seen as part of the job. And that is unacceptable". On International Women's Day, the ETF joins the international trade union movement to call on governments to ratify the ILO Violence and Harassment Convention no. 190, which will come into force in June this year.

To mark today’s Human Rights Day, the last day of the UN’s 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence, the ETF has released a series of videos to guide trade unions through the use of our newly published Workplace Guidance to address violence and harassment against women at work.
