Bangladesh and ILO Violence and Harassment Convention 2019

In 2020, a report published by the ILO revealed that 61.7 percent of both male and female RMG workers in Bangladesh face violence and harassment in the workplace.

Currently, Bangladesh has some scattered provisions under various laws, such as Bangladesh Labour Act, 2006 (BLA) and the Penal Code, 1860 to cover the offences related to workplace violence and harassment. These laws do not comprehensively address sexual harassment and are inadequate in terms of mitigating workplace violence and harassment.
