| Women workers picket Senate to demand C190 ratification |
Partido Manggagawa
(PM) together with NAGKAISA Women picketed the Senate of the Philippines to
witness the hearing for the final stage of the ratification of ILO Convention
190. C190 recognizes the right of everyone to a world of work that is free from
violence and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment.
“Matapos ang mahigit
dalawang taong pagsusulong ng ratification ng C190, bagama’t long-delayed, ay
natutuwa kami na nagbunga na rin ang aming tuloy-tuloy na kampanya para dito,” said PM General Secretary Judy Ann Miranda.
Miranda added that after
the ratification, PM will then push for necessary laws and policy measures to be
put in place to address violence and harassment in the world of work. In the
Philippines, one in seven women experience sexual harassment at least once
every week, according to a study. Sexual harassment in the workplace is
prevalent but underreported because victims fear reprisal.
“Kalakhan ng biktima ng sexual harassment ay kababaihan, lalung-lalo na ‘yaong rank-and-file, casuals at job order. Gusto naming makapag-trabaho ang mga manggagawang kababaihan nang walang agam-agam at may dignidad, kaya babantayan namin ang pagpapatupad ng mga kaakibat na batas at polisiya kaugnay ng C190. Makaka-asa ang kapatid naming mga manggagawang kababaihan, maging ang LGBTQI+ community, na hindi magpapabaya ang PM sa usaping ito,” Miranda ended.
