What ILO Convention C190 2019 - Violence and Harassment in the World of Work requires
ILO Convention C190 - the Violence and Harassment Convention, 2019, adopted on 21 June 2019 at the 108th International Labour Conference and entering into force on 25 June 2021 following ratification by Uruguay and Fiji, is the first international legally binding instrument addressing violence and harassment in the world of work. As of April 2026, it has been ratified by 43 countries. Convention C190 is supplemented by ILO Recommendation R206 (Violence and Harassment Recommendation, 2019), which provides non-binding guidance on implementation. The Convention adopts a broad definition of 'violence and harassment' in Article 1: unacceptable behaviours, practices, or threats causing physical, psychological, sexual, or economic harm. It covers gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) which are directed at persons because of their sex or gender. The Convention covers all sectors (public and private), formal and informal economy, all types of employment and work, including telework, and all workers and other persons in the world of work - including interns, volunteers, job applicants, former employees, managers, and employers. Article 4 requires each ratifying Member State to adopt an inclusive, integrated, and gender-responsive approach to preventing and eliminating violence and harassment in the world of work. Article 8 requires State responsibility for effective monitoring, enforcement, and remedies. Article 9 establishes duties of employers to take all appropriate steps proportionate to their degree of control to prevent and address violence and harassment. Article 11 requires States to adopt guidance, model policies, educational resources, and capacity-building measures. Convention C190 interacts directly with corporate governance obligations under CSRD ESRS S1 (Own Workforce), UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, and due diligence laws.
