Gender equal workplace practices
1 July 2019
The ILO works with public and private sector employers in the Arab States to design workplace policies and practices that promote gender equality. Policies such as maternity protection, the provision of childcare for women and men with children, mechanisms to prevent and address harassment at the workplace, and leave policies and working arrangements that support workers with family responsibilities.
In Lebanon, the ILO has worked with the Lebanese League for Business Women to conduct gender assessments in selected member organisations and develop action plans to promote women’s employment in their firms. In Jordan, the ILO has worked with the private sector supporting them in the establishment of childcare facilities, according to the National Framework for Childcare Provision.
