An Employment Right - Standard Provisions for Provisions for Working Women Experiencing Domestic Violence

This article discusses labor standards that deal with impacts of domestic violence that spill over into the workplace in the form of attendance, performance and safety. Factors contributing to improved conditions and implementations of domestic violence right at work include a global network of cooperation, strong partnerships with advocacy groups and solid empirical data surveying by workers’ organizations. The authors also recognized the role of global union federations in raising the opportunity for multinational companies to provide global conditions for employees. They conclude that the most effective national and international strategies should combine employment legislation and collective bargaining, and they encourage international and comparative knowledge sharing.
