GELC FOCUS
The Violence and Harassment Convention defines violence and harassment as "a spectrum of unacceptable actions or threats, whether isolated or recurring, intended to cause, result in, or have the potential to cause physical, psychological, sexual, or economic harm. This encompasses gender-based violence and harassment.
The gender pay gap remains a significant issue in workplaces, with women often receiving lower pay for equivalent or equally valuable work, a concern recognized by the ILO since 1919. The gender pay gap indicates gender inequalities in pay, measuring the difference between the average earnings of men and women as a percentage of men's earnings.
Historically, women in Africa are primarily responsible for unpaid care work within their households, balancing family and household (Moodley et al., 2019, p. 10). Women play a crucial role in Africa's economy; however, they frequently engage in informal, low-income occupations.
