Page context: No to Violence Against Women
The ITF has marked this day annually since 2002. Transport workers are vulnerable to physical and non-physical violence because of the jobs they do, and women are vulnerable in different ways, because they often handle customer relations and because working alone or at night as well as travelling to and from work at night can mean they are in danger from sexually-motivated or gender-related attacks.
As well as addressing workplace violence, many of the ITF’s affiliated unions have been working on issues of domestic violence, and on ways that sufferers from violence can be given help in the workplace. This includes unions arguing for access to medical support and counselling, as well as ensuring confidentiality of cases and sympathetic handling of requests for time off work, where necessary.
We are asking ITF unions to report to us any activities organised to mark November 25th. As in previous years, we will report your events and display links and pictures on the ITF website.
