It is important to know that workplace harassment, sexual harassment and violence at work are forms of gender-based violence that are prohibited by law and can have legal consequences for the aggressors. Therefore, it is essential not to keep quiet and seek help to stop these behaviors.
In addition, promoting a culture of respect and fairness at work, promoting gender equality and sensitizing workers on these issues are key measures to prevent and eradicate these situations. Working in a safe and violence-free working environment is a fundamental right of all workers and it is everyone’s responsibility to contribute to creating that environment.
The public administration must take measures to prevent and address workplace harassment, sexual harassment and workplace violence in all its forms. This includes implementing clear policies and procedures to report and treat these behaviors, as well as providing training to staff (employees, employees, supervisors, and supervisors) on how to identify and prevent harassment and violence in the workplace.
