Signed on 26 January by the agro-industry union federations, UITA and the industrial federation IndustriALL Global this declaration included commitments to tackle sexual harassment together via the implementation of complaints procedures as well as awareness and training programs. The declaration also intends for specific measures at each workplace identified as being particularly at risk (especially in plantations).
Definition. The declaration sets out a broad definition of this type of behavior (ranging from comments over one’s physical description to actual inappropriate physical gestures or contact, including the employment of a condescending or paternalistic attitude with sexual undertones) The signatories “want to guarantee that all employees including those in sub-contracting businesses understand what is expected, know how to raise a problem, and can signal any abuses in full confidence.”
