Confederation of Autonomous Trade Unions of Serbia joins global campaign for the elimination of violence against women and demands that urgent and decisive steps are taken. We demand from the Government of the Republic of Serbia to urgently initiate the ratification procedure for the ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment in the world of work which was adopted by the International Labour Organization at its 108th conference.
The issue of violence and harassment is more and more frequently found in collective agreements around Europe and Government’s responsibility is to secure a supportive framework for collective bargaining at all levels.
Violence against women, violence against all workers must be stopped! Work freed of violence for all represents the respect of international standards and civilizational achievement. In the 21st century it is impermissible to vex, harass, disturb, perform mobbing on anyone, and least of all women who are most often the victims.
CATUS joins the invitation of the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC) sent to the European Commission, to stop violence against women, including the ratification of ILO Convention 190, as well as full implementation of EC Convention on preventing and combatting violence against women and domestic violence, which was passed in Istanbul on May 11, 2011, and confirmed by Serbia almost a decade ago.
