Tell U.S. leaders to make workplaces safe for women everywhere.
Violence and harassment against women and girls is a global issue. More than one-third of the world's countries do not have any laws prohibiting sexual harassment at work – leaving nearly 235 million working women vulnerable in the workplace. Yet there is no international legal standard specifically for protecting women at work from these abuses.
The International Labor Organization has taken the opportunity to end this crisis by introducing an international standard on violence and harassment in the world of work – the first step to building accountability on this issue globally.
