The UK has ratified the ILO Convention No. 190, which obliges us to ensure that employers take appropriate steps to prevent violence and harassment at work, including gender-based violence. These amendments would help us to fulfil that obligation, not in theory but in practice. These amendments have been drafted with the legal and sectoral expertise of the Suzy Lamplugh Trust and Rights of Women. They are backed by over 20 trade unions, specialist organisations and front-line charities, including the End Violence Against Women Coalition, White Ribbon UK, Unite Hospitality and the TUC Young Workers network.
