RISE’s Post

On this International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, we continue to call on companies to take action to accelerate the recognition, prevention and redress of violence and harassment in global supply chains. Gender-based violence and harassment is one of the most prevalent human rights risks in supply chains, particularly in sectors with a high proportion of women workers, such as apparel and agriculture. And yet, some of the most influential companies in these sectors have still a long way to go to translate policies into concrete measures. Evidence from our Gender Benchmark shows that: 📜 While 86% of the apparel and food brands assessed have a publicly available policy regarding violence and harassment in the workplace ❗Only 20% require their suppliers to have a remediation process in place ‼️And only 5% of companies disclose evidence that they have identified violence and harassment as a salient risk through their human rights due diligence process. This is why the World Benchmarking Alliance is convening a multi-stakeholder coalition to help accelerate company action - see more details here: https://lnkd.in/eic2r9qf #16Days #IDEVAW #BizHumanRights #GenderEquality #HRDD #CorporateAccountability #RatifyC190

At the Universal Access Project, we believe WBA's Gender Collective Impact Coalition (CIC) is doing critical work to advocate for action against violence and harassment in global supply chains. Their Gender Benchmark goes on to demonstrate how accountability starts with transparency aka better data from companies. As we wrestle with what 2025 is going to hold for #SRHR, we call for companies to commit to and invest deeply in long-term women's health and wellbeing practices, policies, and programs in their global value chains.

Did you know that globally, 359 million women remain unprotected by law against sexual harassment in employment, with many more lacking legal protection in education and public places? Many women-worker-led initiatives are advancing the implementation of the key provisions of ILO C190, but efforts to prevent and address gender-based violence and harassment in the world of work must consider the role of climate change. Read about these women-worker-led initiatives in the @Devex #WomenRising #DevexSeries  https://lnkd.in/eed4riBq 

Workplace free from harassment The International Labour Organisation (#ILO) is committed to ensuring a workplace that is free from any form of harassment, in particular sexual harassment. ILO anti-harassment policies apply to all ILO officials, anyone working with the ILO or on ILO premises, as well as delegates and other people attending the ILC. If you feel that, you are being harassed or see it happening to others, speak up. You may consider contacting any of the following services for confidential guidance and support: Mediator mediator@ilo.org, Staff Welfare Officer: menes@ilo.org, Medical Service: medical@ilo.org, Human Resources Department: oneill@ilo.org, Staff Union: syndicat@ilo.org. #MISA supports and upholds the ideals of the ILO through the services and benefits provided to members and other additional activities. Having been involved in the drafting process of C190, Martlé Keyter, #MISA’s Chief Executive Officer: Operations, ensured that the lessons learnt in that processes were applied for the improvement of the retail motor industry, through amongst others, the implementation of specific interventions such as the: • training of the MISA Gender Champions; • drafting and roll out of #MISA’s policy on the Elimination of Violence and Harassment (#MISA being the first trade union globally to roll out such a policy), and • formulation of the Industry Equality and Diversity Forum (IEDF) aimed at the provision of training and promotion of initiatives for the improvement of the industry. To participate in the improvement of the retail motor industry through the IEDF, please contact Training@ms.org.za. #ILO #PROUDLYMISA ##MISALEADS #MISAONTHEMOVE #MISACARES #MISAFAMILY

"Savings" refers to the portion of income that is not spent on immediate consumption or expenses, but instead set aside for future use. It is a key component of personal finance, providing financial security and the ability to achieve future goals. Savings can be stored in various forms, such as: Cash Savings: Money kept in checking or savings accounts. Investments: Money put into assets like stocks, bonds, or mutual funds that can grow over time. Retirement Savings: Contributions to retirement accounts like 401(k)s or IRAs. Emergency Fund: Savings set aside for unexpected expenses or emergencies. In personal finance, it's important to balance saving with spending and investing to build wealth over time. The act of saving involves setting aside a portion of income regularly to achieve specific goals like buying a house, funding education, or preparing for retirement.

On the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, we begin a global 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence. Global Labor Justice and its partner organizations in the C190 Arc Task Force are proud to announce the launch of a new website that brings together information and action on how the global labor and women’s rights organizations around the world are working to address gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH), in line with ILO Convention 190 (C190), the first international treaty to address violence and harassment in the world of work. When women workers unite to fight gender-based violence and harassment in the world of work, they can change their lives and their communities. ✊🏾 Check out more to learn how women workers are using C190 to fight #GBVH in the world of work 👉🏾 https://lnkd.in/exRY_rHc #16DaysOfActivism  #c190inaction #noexcuses #GBVH #16Days Asia Floor Wage Alliance (AFWA) Solidarity Center UNI Global Union International Trade Union Confederation - ITUC International Domestic Workers Federation
