CONVENTION NO. 190 OF THE ILO

Abstract

The ILO Convention 190 on violence and harassment at work, published in 2019, and not yet ratified by Brazil, highlighted the need for commitment to combat and reduce practices that generate illness in workers exposed to issues of oppression and violence is the theme of this work. In this sense, the research brings as a guiding question the possibility of this normative instrument being able to reduce violence and harassment in the world of work. To this end, it aims to investigate, briefly, ILO Convention no. 190 as an instrument capable of reducing moral and sexual harassment in labor relations in Brazil and, in order to achieve this general objective, it has the specific purpose of making a connection between the international normative instrument and moral harassment. Furthermore, it uses a study of the application of scientific procedures that make possible, and at the same time feasible, the analysis of an aspect of reality, be it a phenomenon or an institution, in order to experiment, detail, or explore it. From this point of view, a bibliographical survey is carried out based on theoretical references, considering that this is a study about the verification of what the impacts will be on the work environment and its consequences on the private lives of male and female workers. In view of this, this study is justified due to the importance of Convention 190 and its reverberations in the labor field and its contribution to the issues that permeate the work environment and increasingly dignify male and female workers. We conclude, therefore, by the benefits of this normative instrument.
