In its objective to combat gender-based violence (GBV) in the workplace, the UNI Global Union – Philippine Liaison Council (UNI-PLC) has recently launched a series of focused training sessions titled “Creating Safe and Inclusive Workplaces: Addressing Gender-Based Violence.” Held in Manila, Morong, and Rizal, these sessions were specifically tailored for Barangay Health Workers (BHWs) and private healthcare workers. The training covered key topics such as understanding the various forms of GBV, its root causes, and different strategies for prevention and response needed to foster safer, more respectful work environments.

The training sessions provided a thorough exploration and case studies on gender-based violence, focusing on its impact on healthcare workers. Led by Catherine Gayo-Villon, Education and Information Officer at Associated Labor Unions – TUCP, the program defined gender-based violence in its various forms, including verbal, emotional, and psychological abuse. It highlighted how these issues disproportionately affect women. Participants also discussed the root causes of GBV, such as societal norms and systemic inequalities, and examined its effects on individuals and workplace culture.

A significant part of the training focused on practical strategies for preventing and responding to GBV. This included a thorough discussion of the different laws and policies related to gender-based violence. Participants were educated on their legal rights and protections available to them. The sessions concluded with a call to action encouraging participants to advocate for change in their communities and workplaces.

Catherine Gutierrez from the Chinese General Hospital Employees Association emphasized recognizing various forms of GBV. “Before the training, we often overlooked these subtle forms of harassment,” she said. “Learning about the different ways gender-based violence can manifest was incredibly valuable.”

Similarly, Mabel Napoles, President of the Barangay Health Workers Federation in Quezon City, stressed understanding legal frameworks that protect workers. “As frontliners in our communities," she stated, "it’s essential for us to be aware of the legal protections in place.”

“The impact of the training sessions was evident as participants left with a renewed commitment to fostering safe and inclusive workplaces,” noted Antonio Fulgado from UNI-PLC’s Together We Care initiative.

Rajendra Acharya, UNI Asia & Pacific Regional Secretary remarked: “We are dedicated to continuing our efforts to empower workers with knowledge and tools they need to cultivate respectful environments."

This initiative is backed by UNI Global Union through Together We Care with support from USAID, the Ford Foundation, and the CARE Fund.
