Addressing violence and harassment against women in the world of work

Back to top

Everyone has the right to live and work free from violence and harassment. In spite of this,
violence and harassment against women in the world of work is present in all jobs, occupations
and sectors of the economy in all countries across the world. Some women are disproportionately
affected by violence and harassment because of their employment status, the type of
work they carry out, or because of the conditions in the sector that they work in.
