Posted: Thursday, 26 January 2012
Equality between women and men is one of the fundamental principles of EU law, and furthermore, harassment is mentioned in the national legislation of seventeen European countries.
Nevertheless, gender-based discrimination is still prominent in many workplaces with harassment manifesting itself in many forms. Concern about the effects of workplace discrimination and harassment on the health and safety of workers has been growing over the last decade.
Concern about the effects of workplace discrimination and harassment on the health and safety of workers has been growing over the last decade. Both third-party violence and harassment may have severely negative consequences for the individuals affected and their families, as well as being detrimental to society generally. Although this growing concern has led to better provision of information, there is still an urgent need to improve public and practitioner awareness, and to encourage better dissemination of the proven tools and procedures to prevent and manage these occupational risks
Public Policy Exchange is proud to continue its equality platform with a special symposium on tackling gender-based discrimination and harassment in the workplace through exchanging best practices between leading practitioners, international organisations and major stakeholders. The Symposium will discuss effective ways to delineate an EU-wide framework for prevention and encourage delegates to engage in thought-provoking topical debate.
