"The report addresses the devastating impact of violence and harassment against women and men in the world of work, the vulnerabilities faced by women workers in non-standard forms of employment, and informal and casualised work, and workers who are affected by discrimination and lack of decent work, and who are at risk of exploitation and trafficking. It highlights the need for national and workplace measures to take account multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination, and to address violence and harassment against women and men at work through collective agreements and workplace policies, and in initiatives on safety and health at work and wellbeing at work. Recommendations in the report include the need for a strong gender-perspective; measures to address the growth of non-standard forms of work and its consequences; a strong legal framework, including the right to collective bargaining and freedom of association; measures to tackle the causes of violence at work including third party violence against workers in services sectors and in the health and transport; initiatives to recongise and prevent domestic violence at work; and awareness raising to increase the understanding and visibility of violence against women and men in the world of work."
