Equality in the Workplace: Zero Tolerance on Gender-Based Discrimination and Harassment in Europe

Equa­lity between women and men is one of the funda­men­tal prin­ci­ples of EU law, and further­more, harass­ment is menti­o­ned in the nati­o­nal legis­la­tion of seven­teen Euro­pean coun­tries.

Never­the­less, gender-based discri­mi­na­tion is still promi­nent in many work­pla­ces with harass­ment mani­fes­ting itself in many forms. Concern about the effects of work­place discri­mi­na­tion and harass­ment on the health and safety of workers has been growing over the last decade.

Public Policy Exchange conti­nues its equa­lity plat­form with a special inter­na­ti­o­nal sympo­sium on tack­ling gender-based discri­mi­na­tion and harass­ment in the work­place. Parti­ci­pants will have the oppor­tu­nity to exchange best prac­ti­ces with leading prac­ti­ti­o­ners, inter­na­ti­o­nal orga­ni­sa­ti­ons and major stake­hol­ders across Europe.

For further details, please refer to the enclo­sed event brochure. Do feel free to circu­late this infor­ma­tion to rele­vant colle­a­gues within your orga­ni­sa­tion.

In the mean­time, to ensure your orga­ni­sa­tion is repre­sen­ted, please complete and return the regis­tra­tion form at your earli­est conve­ni­ence in order to secure your dele­gate place(s).

Kind regards,
