ILO Harassment Convention Enters Into Force In Mexico

On 6 July 2023, the International Labor Organization's Convention 190 on Violence and Harassment entered into full force and effect in Mexico. This international instrument was ratified by the Senate on 6 July 2022. Ratification triggered the start of an initial one year period for national legislation to be brought into line with Convention standards.

ILO Convention 190 recognizes the right of every person to a job free of violence and harassment, especially based on gender, since this kind of harassment is a violation of human rights that threatens equal opportunities, and is incompatible with the right to decent work.
