Gender-Based violence in the Workplace
Why it's important to address Gender-Based Violence in the Workplace
In recent years, Viet Nam government has further acknowledged the needs to take measures in preventing and addressing the sexual harassment in the workplace. This commitment is clearly demonstrated in the revised Labour Code 2019 which came into force in January 2021, along with its accompanying Decree 145 issued in December 2020. These documents provide detailed regulations on sexual harassment in the workplace, making the first time such conduct has been defined in the labour code. Moreover, the Convention No.190 concerning the Elimination of Violence and Harassment in the World of Work was adopted in 2019 further underscores the importance of implementing these measures on the ground.
