#Womenwithdisabilities in Low-Middle Income Countries are 2–4x more likely to experience #IPV, and are at increased risk of non-partner sexual violence. They MUST be meaningfully included in all aspects of #VAWGprevention programming and decision-making.

So pleased #UK ratified @ILO 190 today, recognising the right of everyone to a world of work free from violence & harassment. Crucial to continue to protect & advance the global normative framework for gender equality, especially in face of opposition to women’s rights #IWD2022
Guy Ryder@GuyRyder

Very pleased that the United Kingdom has ratified @ILO Convention 190 on violence & harassment. It's timely for #IWD2022. The Convention is designed to free the world of work from violence & harassment for all women and men. I urge all countries to #RatifyC190 and implement it.
