Violence in the world of work is a threat to the dignity, security, health and well-being of everyone. It has an impact not only on workers and employers, but also on their families, communities, economies and society as a whole.

Experts will share innovative initiatives, instruments and strategies to tackle and respond to this issue at policy and workplace level, and answer the following questions:

•                 What is “violence” in the world of work?

•                 What are the rights-based and business cases for tackling violence in the world of work?

•                 What is “gender-based violence”?

•                 What are the root causes? What are the risk factors for both victims as well as perpetrators of such  violence?

•                 What strategies, good practices and practical tools exist to address this problem within the workplace and beyond?
