Background

Decreasing violence against women and girls requires a community-based, multi-pronged approach, and sustained engagement with multiple stakeholders. The impact of GBV has become an important workplace issue, recognizing how power and control interconnect work and private life. For example, economic violence has a direct impact on women’s ability to work, such as preventing women from having sufficient money for bus fares to get to work or to buy clothing suitable for work, and sometimes violent partners break women’s work tools or physically remove women from their workplaces. Research indicates that women who experience domestic violence are employed in higher numbers in casual and part-time work, and their earnings are up to 60 per cent lower, compared to women who do not experience such violence. GBV affects women’s full and active in their vocational training, and in their participation in the labor market, as many women experiencing GBV end up leaving their training and their jobs. It can also affect the safety of victims in the workplace, including peers, employers, or customers. Preventing this from happening and supporting victims of domestic violence at vocational training and work can save women’s lives
