Workshop on "Protection of Women Workers from Sexual Harassment in the Ethiopian Horticulture Sector"

Sunday, 13.03.2022 - Wednesday, 16.03.2022 - Adama

The National Federation of Farm, Plantation Fishery and Agro-Industry Trade union of Ethiopia (NFFPFATU), in cooperation with FES and with support of the Ethiopian Women Lawyers Association (EWLA), held a tripartite (trade unions, employers, and government) three-day sexual harassment workshop in Adama to address the pertinent challenge faced by many female workers in a sector with high prevalence of women.

The workshop helped to expand networks and form alliances, address encounters faced by trade unions, employers, and employees and the need to understand gender-related challenges, and come to a real, joint, and shared commitment to promote women's membership and representation in the union and to address their grievances as well as the violation of their rights protected under the labor law.
