ILO-7039
A female worker cuts pieces of clothing in a garment factory in Ethiopia.
In 2020, Better Work Ethiopia raised its efforts to train middle managers, including human resource and compliance managers, counselors, and supervisors from different production lines on several issues relating to sexual harassment. These include guidance on what sexual harassment is, the relevant laws that govern it, and the policies companies can implement to prevent it. As a result of this training, four factories revised their existing policies and procedures to address sexual harassment complaints and ensure safer workplaces.
The number of workers in these factories coming forward to report harassment has increased.
