The fight against gender-based violence in the workplace and the strengthening of trade union action with a gender perspective

The objective of this project is:

  • To empower women trade unionists with tools that allow them to confront gender-based violence in public sector jobs in the Southern Cone and Brazil, and to include the gender perspective in trade union demands.

  • To increase the visibility of the problem of gender violence in public employment at the trade union, government and civil society levels

  • Generate and/or review public policies - with the participation of trade unions - that guarantee the elimination of gender-based violence in the workplace.

ILO Convention 190 - Against violence and harassment in the world of work

The project intervention strategy is:

Training and capacity building - a set of face-to-face and virtual training actions aimed at improving the levels of information, increasing women's awareness and providing tools for trade union promotion on issues related to gender violence in the workplace.

Networking - The aim is to exchange experiences and build common platforms of action at the national, sub-regional and regional levels of the Women's Committees. This strategy not only seeks to strengthen existing alliances among women in the sector, but also to strengthen PSI's work in the region and the committees themselves in addressing the problems faced by women in public employment by inviting and working together with sister organizations such as the ILO, the FES and other organizations to work on gender issues.

Studies and publications - The aim is to generate participatory studies and manuals based on the exchange of information from trade unions, secondary sources and the hiring of experts, so that organizations can address the issue of gender discrimination in public employment, such as gender-based violence.

Campaign - a set of communication and dissemination actions that seek to raise awareness and place the fight against gender-based violence in the workplace on the public and trade union agendas. An effective commitment of the trade union organisations to this issue is expected.

The participation and beneficiaries are:

The participation of PSI-affiliated public sector unions in Brazil and the Southern Cone has been considered for this project.
