The gendered price of precarity. Young women navigating workplace sexual harassment.
REFNo: SS608ES
Principal aim
The principal aim of the project is to contribute to an understanding of the processes of empowerment of young females in response to (vulnerability to) WSH, in order to inform policy directions and civil society efforts aimed at empowering young workers.
Specific objectives are:
1) To contribute to a better understanding of processes of gaining voice and empowerment in response to WSH in different precarious labour settings, by highlighting variation between the formal and informal sector.
2) To contribute to empirical knowledge about WSH in sectors for which limited research exists, and from a youth perspective.
3) To raise awareness among relevant policy actors about the specific conditions that create vulnerability to WSH for young women working in selected formal and informal sectors, and help them design strategies to address this within employment interventions.
4) To contribute to policy development for addressing sexual harassment in the informal sector, in support of implementing Article 8 of ILO Convention 190.
5) To contribute to the development of an ‘everyday language’ in local vernacular in Uganda and Bangladesh, which policy actors, civil society, and young women can comfortably use to articulate WSH.
