Online violence and harassment have been receiving increased attention in recent legislative reforms either as a separate or standalone notion or as a means through which violence and harassment can be perpetrated, including in the world of work. Led by the ILO, this event aims to facilitate knowledge exchange through the sharing of good practices, including legislation and measures at the workplace level. It will open the discussion for the use of technology to prevent violence and harassment in the world of work, including mitigating the effects of domestic violence.
