Notes:	"The Declaration of Philadelphia (1944), states that "all human beings, irrespective of race, creed or sex, have the right to pursue both their material well-being and their spiritual development in conditions of freedom and dignity, of economic security and equal opportunity". In 2016, the participants at the ILO Meeting of Experts on Violence against Women and Men in the World of Work...developed guidance on the standard-setting item on violence to be discussed at the International Labour Conference in June 2018 (ILO, 2016a, paragraphs 7–8). Through their extensive and wide-ranging discussions, the experts observed that violence and harassment in the world of work is unacceptable and, indeed, incompatible with decent work and that it must be addressed. The experts concluded that violence and harassment "is a human rights issue and affects workplace relations, worker engagement, health, productivity, quality of public and private services, and enterprise reputation. It affects labour market participation and, in particular, may prevent women from entering the labour market, especially in maledominated sectors and jobs, and remain therein. Violence may undermine democratic decision-making and the rule of law" (ILO, 2016a, Appendix I, paragraph 1). Given this, the experts agreed that the issue of violence in the world of work must be tackled "as a matter of urgency" (ILO, 2016a, Appendix I, paragraphs 1–2).
