Workplace sexual harassment also negatively affects entire workgroup productivity and has significant costs on firms and economies.

Experts from the ILO, Solidarity Center, and World Bank will highlight practical approaches to promote respectful workplaces and prevent and respond to sexual harassment in the workplace.
