The publication of this joint UN Women-ILO Handbook coincides with the unprecedented mobilization of millions of women, behind #MeToo and other movements, in a global response to sexual harassment and sexual assault in the world of work. Moreover, this handbook is being published within the context of the International Labour Organization (ILO) standard-setting process which is working towards a new international standard or standards on ending violence and harassment in the world of work. With the final discussion and the possible adoption of an international Convention, Recommendation or both, scheduled for the ILO’s International Labour Conference in 2019, this process follows many years of work by governments, employers’ and workers’ organizations.
