ITF launches “16 days of activism against women violence” campaign

ITF launches “16 days of activism against women violence” campaign
FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin

As Wednesday 25 November is the Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women and Girls. Thus, ITF launches a 16-day campaign highlighting Gender-based violence.

The campaign that will run from 25 November to 10 December, aims to highlight that women face violence, discrimination, and harassment at work as well at home. Violence against women and girls is a problem for everyone – including employers.

ITF comments that Covid-19 has exacerbated violence and harassment against women. According to the UN, violence against women has surged by over 25% during the pandemic in countries where reporting systems exist. It will likely continue to rise as Covid-19 causes further unemployment, recession, and insecurity. A loss of income will make it harder for women to escape abusive situations. Meanwhile, in more isolated work environments, women may find themselves at an increased risk of violence.

However, despite the current challenges, in November Argentina announced it would take steps to ratify the Convention Concerning the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in The World of Work, also known as C190. This ILO instrument is the first international convention to eradicate violence and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment, along with Recommendation R206.

C190 defines violence and harassment and clarifies that ‘the world of work’ extends beyond the workplace. The language includes incidents in the course of, linked with, or arising out of work – including places where the worker uses sanitation facilities, and when commuting to and from work.

Therefore, ITF calls seafarers and the maritime sector

This 25 November, take a stand and share your messages of solidarity against gender-based violence.

Concluding, following the same path, ETF conducted a survey focusing on the women of the transport sector, launching the “Yes to women in transport” campaign. Women seafarers revealed the challenges of dealing with harassment in the workplace.
