Abstract

workplace violence harassment at work institutional framework legal aspect Burkina Faso Côte d’Ivoire Senegal
This report provides the most comprehensive evidence to date on the prevalence, forms and effects of violence and harassment in the world of work in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire and Senegal, reinforcing global evidence of its widespread and pervasive nature. It highlights the profiles of victims and perpetrators, the contexts where it occurs, and the main reporting mechanisms, revealing a largely hidden phenomenon that undermines workers’ dignity, health, and productivity. By making the invisible visible, the report provides the evidence needed to strengthen policies, improve measurement frameworks, and accelerate the ratification and effective implementation of the ILO Convention on Violence and Harassment, 2019 (No. 190), contributing to a world of work free from violence and harassment for all.
