International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention C190 and its relevance in Bangladesh

Country Director, ILO, Bangladesh
The ILO Convention Eliminating Violence and Harassment in the World of Work (C190) and its accompanying Recommendation (R206) went through a long process and it culminated in the adoption of the convention in the ILO Centenary Conference in 2019. The Bangladesh government voted in favour of the adoption of the Convention C190 and Recommendation R206 and we are optimistic about the ratification of C190 by the government of Bangladesh. Workers' and Employers' organisation need to engage to discuss the convention's ratification and figure out how it can be integrated into the national system through legislation to improve practices in addressing workplace violence and harassment.. Without addressing issues around violence and harassment, including GBV in the world of work, it is impossible to achieve the Decent Work Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Bangladesh Business and Disability Network (BBDN) with the support of Bangladesh Employers Federation (BEF) and Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has completed the drafting of a "Return to Work and Rehabilitation Strategy" for people who suffered injuries or disability due to industrial accidents or occupational hazards, said a press release.
Following an initial consultation workshop in January 2020 and further inputs from stakeholders on an initial draft, a final validation workshop was conducted in January 2021 to generate further discussion on finalising the strategy and taking the implementation forward.
At this high-level strategic workshop, Abdus Salam, secretary, Ministry of Labor and Employment was present as the chief guest. He highlighted the uniqueness of the ministry as there is a tripartite consultative council with the representation of employers, workers and the government to consider and take forward relevant issues. He mentioned that the Labour Act 2006 has some provisions on disability related issues. However, there is a lack of an action plan to operationalise it, he added.
