Call for video and posters production

Background

Since 1985, the International Labor Organization (ILO) has emphasized that sexual harassment constitutes one of the most severe violations of workers' rights. In Convention 190, ILO explicitly asserts the right of every individual to a workplace free from violence and harassment. As a social democratic institution grounded in the values of freedom, justice, and solidarity, FES recognizes that sexual and gender-based harassment not only reinforces but also legitimizes social, political, and economic inequalities, with a particularly detrimental impact on the most vulnerable populations in society.

In response to the ILO's urgent call for countries to implement measures to eradicate harassment, alongside the feminist movement's advocacy for increased attention to the prevention of violence and discrimination, we are resolutely committed to adopting an ASGBH Policy. This policy articulates our clear position against all forms of discrimination and harassment, and it delineates comprehensive prevention procedures, supportive resources and effective complaint response mechanisms.

Although the establishment of this policy represents a significant advancement, we acknowledge that its successful implementation requires the active commitment of our entire community, including partners and service providers. Therefore, FES, through its Gender Justice Competence Center, based in Mozambique - Maputo intends to develop a short, animated video and posters that fosters a common understanding of FES' Anti-Sexual and Gender-Based Harassment Policy and Procedures – ASGBHP. It should be visually appealing and shareable on various platforms, such as the website, X, Facebook and Instagram.
