International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women highlights, every 25 November, the urgency of combating this human rights violation. This year’s focus draws attention to the escalation of gender-based violence, pointing up that, every 10 minutes, a woman is killed. 

EU-OSHA has been driving efforts to improve women’s safety and health at work, recognising the role of workplaces in combating violence and any type of discrimination against women. The discussion papers ‘Building safe spaces: domestic violence’ and ‘Exploring the gender dimension of telework’ address the necessary gender dimension of any preventive actions in the workplace.
