Women across the world experience gender-based violence and
harassment in the workplace. In the context of globalization and
neoliberalism, work plays an important role in constructing and
maintaining the economic, social and cultural systems of oppression
that women face. Women in insecure, precarious employment and women
not protected by trade unions are the most at risk of violence and
as the #MeToo movement has shown, it stretches across societies
rich and poor. In June 2019, the International Labour Organization
adopted a ground-breaking global Treaty on eliminating violence and
harassment in the world of work. This historic vote was the result
of more than a decade of campaigning and lobbying by women trade
union leaders and their allies across the world. Chidi King, Robin
Runge and Jane Pillinger played a key role in the campaign and the
negotiation of the Convention. Combining both their activist and
academic backgrounds, this book documents their unique insights
into and experience of the campaign and its landmark achievement in
international labour law, global policy and the cross-movement
building of workers' and women's rights, which has reignited the
role of trade unions, and particularly women in trade unions, in
global advocacy.
