The primary goal of the Domestic Violence at Work Network is to accelerate the development of the emerging knowledge base on this issue. Partners have collaborated participated in and collaborated on:
1) National and international survey research to understand the scope and impact of the problem;
2) Survey research to understand the specific impacts of offender behaviour, on their own productivity and on the workplace
3) A Canadian-led international network to mobilize knowledge about domestic violence in the workplace, including research questions, new/promising evidence, and best practices
Partners have signed onto the Basis of Unity.
Our audiences are researchers, policy actors, legislators, labour organizations, employers, worker and domestic violence advocates, and survivors of domestic violence.
In June 2019, the International Labour Conference said STOP to violence and harassment in the world of work by adopting a ground-breaking international tool, Convention 190 (C190) and a Recommendation 206 (R206). This new Convention protects all workers irrespective of their contractual status; interns, apprentices, people in training, workers whose employment has been terminated, volunteers and jobseekers.
