What's new about gender and health in the workplace?
Here you can find our regular newsletter G*OSH: (Gender-Sensitive Views on Occupational Safety and Health). This arises from the topics that concern us as part of our project on gender and health at work in the clothing and footwear industry. We get important impetus from the exchange between representatives of employees, companies, trade associations, trade unions, seal organisations and other stakeholders.
To create a more gender-sensitive OSH system, our partner organisations Cividep (India) and the Trade Unions Right Center (TURC, Indonesia) each conducted a study on the specific risks for women in the world of work.
This report summarizes the basic studies.

In discussions about the health and safety of workers in the textile and footwear industry, gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) is rarely considered. However, a recent study by TURC in Indonesia (2023) and CIVIDEP in India (2023) shows that GBVH has a huge impact on workers' physical and mental health. But what can be done?
The policy paper “Zero tolerance in fashion” provides more in-depth information on the relationship between GBVH and occupational safety and health (OSH).
