Global unions launch toolkit to support LGBTI+ workers under ILO C190
In a step forward for workplace equality and safety, global union federations (GUFs) have launched a comprehensive Toolkit for LGBTI+ workers.
This initiative aligns with the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention 190, targeting violence and harassment in the workplace, which came into force on 25 June, 2021.
The ILO Convention 190, the first international treaty to recognize the right of everyone to a world of work free from violence and harassment, including gender-based violence, has been a focal point for the campaign to ratify Convention 190. Alongside Recommendation 206, it forms a framework for creating safer, more respectful work environments globally.
Understanding the unique challenges faced by LGBTQI+ individuals, the new toolkit specifically addresses violence and harassment against this community. It includes two key resources: The LGBTI+ Facilitator Guide and the LGBTI+ Participant Workbook.
