Ms. Franchesca Castillo represented the Institute for Labor Studies (ILS) at the ILO event "Forging a Path Forward: Implementing ILO C190 in the Philippines" on Friday, September 13, 2024, at the Commission on Human Rights, Quezon City. Ms. Castillo presented the ILS study titled "Affirming the Right to Freedom from Violence and Harassment in the World Of Work: A Gap Analysis of the ILO Convention 190" and the insights moving forward from the ILS C190 Forum held in March.

 

The event was attended by representatives from DOLE BWSC, ILO, WWU, FFW, and Gabriela Women's Party, as well as parliamentarians and advocates of C190.
