Gender based violence at work

Ovisno o percepciji društva, u nekima više, u nekima manje, ali oduvijek je postojala podjela na muške i ženske poslove. Danas su žene sve više ekonomski neovisne o muškarcima, obavljaju raznovrsnije poslove i same zarađuju, a granica između poslova koji se smatraju isključivo muškima i isključivo ženskima nestaje sve brže. No, iako suočeni s pozitivnim promjenama u svijetu rada, žene i dalje, u odnosu na muškarce, dobivaju manju plaću za isto obavljeni posao na istom radnom mjestu te smatraju se manje vrijednima, a samim time su podložnije raznim oblicima nasilja i uznemiravanja na radnom mjestu. Rodno uvjetovano nasilje nekada je označavalo isključivo nasilje nad ženama, no danas je taj pojam puno širi te obuhvaća sve one skupine ljudi koje se ne uklapaju u konvencionalno poimanje roda. Pojava rodno uvjetovanog nasilja na radnom mjestu i posljedice koje ono za sobom povlači predstavlja problem kako za same žrtve koje ga doživljavaju, tako i za poslodavce i sindikate te u konačnici za cijelo društvo. Iako se vidi pomak u prepoznavanju i adresiranju ovog problema na zakonodavnoj razini, kako i kojim mehanizmima će se u budućnosti unaprijediti zaštita žrtava te hoće li to u praksi funkcionirati na očekivan način, ostaje tek za vidjeti.Depending on the perception of society, in some more, in some less, but there has always been a division into male and female jobs. Today, women are becoming more economically independent of men, doing more diverse jobs and making money themselves, and the line between jobs that are considered exclusively male and exclusively female is disappearing faster. However, even though they face positive changes in the world of work, women still, compared to men, receive less pay for the same job done in the same workplace and are considered less valuable, and thus more vulnerable to various forms of workplace violence and harassment. Gender-based violence used to mean exclusively violence against women, but today it is a much broader term, encompassing all those groups of people who do not fit into the conventional concept of gender. The occurrence of gender-based violence in the workplace and the consequences it entails is a problem for victims themselves and for employers and trade unions, and ultimately for society as a whole. Although there is a shift in identifying and addressing this issue at the legislative level, how and what mechanisms will improve victim protection in the future and whether it will work as expected in practice remains to be seen
