According to the European Institute for Gender Equality (EIGE), one in three women in the EU have experienced violence. This has significant consequences in the workplace, affecting women's safety, wellbeing, participation in the labour market, productivity and economic independence.

To raise awareness of this issue, EIGE is launching a travelling poster exhibition entitled Violence against women as a workplace issue at its Gender Equality Forum, taking place tomorrow in Brussels and online.

Linked to the EU Gender-based Violence Survey, the exhibition aims to stimulate dialogue among policymakers, social partners and practitioners on effective measures to prevent and address violence against women in the workplace.

Following its launch, the exhibition will travel to the EPSU Executive Committee meeting on 24-25 November.
