In collaboration with the National Union of Services and the Office of Union Services, the Standing Conference of Working Women organized, last Monday, a workshop dedicated to the fundamental principles of Convention Number 190 which deals with the right of each individual to a professional life without violence or harassment.
The convention in question adopts a comprehensive and comprehensive methodology on social gender and defines the diverse and integrated roles and functions of governments, employers and workers. The convention calls for the respect and rendering of basic working principles and outlines the damage caused by violence and harassment in the workplace, whether for women or for men.
During the workshop, the speakers returned to the policies of the convention which guarantee the right to the implementation of measures and sanctions which criminalize violence in the professional world at the level of all sectors (official and parallel) and have set out the responsibility of employers in applying these policies; employers must indeed negotiate with workers and their representatives to eradicate violence and harassment in the workplace.
At the end of its work, the workshop announced the launch of a year-long campaign which will be applied according to a work plan drawn up by all the participants. The main goal of this campaign is to call on the Egyptian government to ratify convention number 190 of the year 2019 and to change local laws to harmonize them with the text.
