November 25 — International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women

SITIMM recognizes **WOMEN WORKERS** and embraces the international agreement and commitment against abuse and violence toward women.

Violence severely affects the lives of women workers around the world, with sexual harassment as its most frequent form. Violence against women is a violation of women's human rights and an obstacle to gender equality. Violence against women at work is a fundamental trade union issue that affects women's rights, safety, health and dignity.

**All forms of violence against women are unacceptable!**

SITIMM commits to the following:

• Publicly take a stand against all forms of violence and harassment against women, and condemn attitudes and actions that perpetuate sexism and violence.
• Address gender as a priority in our union and allocate the resources needed to carry out activities aimed at preventing and combating violations of women's rights.
• Foster a culture of respect for women within our union by raising awareness among our members, staff and representatives, and providing training on the importance of eradicating violence and harassment in the workplace and within our union.
• Encourage our members to actively fight against violence and harassment toward women, especially in the workplace.
• Organize campaigns aimed at preventing and combating violence against women.
