Fighting Against Sexual Harassment

Together with our affiliates and the global labour movement, the IUF is fighting to end the epidemic of sexual harassment and gender-based violence in the world of work. And we are making progress! We have negotiated 6 agreements with global corporations that cover workers in 54 countries around the world. And we are not stopping!
