Violence and harassment in the world of work: A guide on Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206

ILO Guide on Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206 to shed light on definitions, core principles and measures enshrined in these instruments.

Two years since its adoption, a number of countries have ratified the ILO Violence and Harassment Convention No. 190. Many others are in the process of considering following suit. On 25 June 2021, the Convention entered into force and ILO constituents and other relevant actors are turning to the ILO in search of guidance on how to give practical effect to the new instruments. This Guide seeks to respond to this demand by clarifying the definitions, core principles and measures enshrined in Convention No. 190 and Recommendation No. 206. It helps readers understand the scope of the instruments and sheds light on how member States have recently advanced in the prevention and elimination of work-related violence and harassment by providing a rich selection of examples of national laws, regulations, policies and other measures
