A Romanian law acceding to the International Labour
Organization's Violence and Harassment Convention was published
on 2 April 2024
The Convention, which was adopted by
the ILO in 2019, protects workers and other persons from violence
and harassment in the workplace.
The term 'violence and
harassment' is defined as a range of unacceptable behaviours
and practices, or threats thereof (whether a single occurrence or
repeated) that aim at, result in, or are likely to result in
physical, psychological, sexual, or economic harm.
The term specifically includes
'gender-based violence and harassment', which refers to
violence and harassment directed at persons because of their sex or
gender or affecting persons of a particular sex or gender
disproportionately. This includes sexual harassment.
