The Nigeria Labour congress (NLC) has urged the Federal Government to domesticate the ILO Convention 190 (C190) to discourage Gender-Based Violence and Harassment (GBVH) in workplaces.
The Head of Department, Women and Youth, NLC, Mrs Rita Goyit, made the appeal at a virtual workshop for Labour journalists on Sunday.
Goyit expressed concern that Nigeria had not ratified or domesticated the convention, two years after the C190 was adopted in Geneva, Switzerland.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the workshop supported by Solidarity Centre AFL-CIO, a non-profit organisation, is part of activities by the NLC to observe the 2021 International Women’s Day.
As part of campaign to boost awareness on Gender Based Violence and Harassment (GBVH) in the world of work, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) and Solidarity Centre AFL-CIO has held a media training for journalists.
