Handbook: Addressing Violence and Harrassment Against Women in the World of Work

Violence and harassment against women in the world of work – the topic of this Handbook – hampers women’s empowerment and their access to and progress in the labour market. It also affects the sustainability of the
economy in general and perpetuates occupational gender segregation. Violence and harassment against women is often rooted in unequal gender power dynamics, gender stereotypes, patriarchal values and historical inequalities between men and women.
