Violence against health workers, especially women, is a growing concern yet remains largely overlooked. Estimates suggest that close to 40% of health workers especially women, face physical violence and many more are subjected to or threatened with verbal aggression.
The overarching aim of our webinar series is to understand the gendered dimensions of workplace violence in the primary healthcare workforce, looking at ways structural gender and power imbalances threaten the safety and well-being of female health workers.
In this first webinar, we will focus on policy frameworks for action, specifically discussing:
- The purpose and content of the Global Health and Care Worker Compact (WHA74.14)
- Key aspects of ILO Convention 190 (C190) in preventing workplace violence
Join us as we explore effective policy frameworks and strategies to confront these critical issues.
