Protection from Violence and Harassment at the Workplace: An Intersectional Approach from a Labour Law Perspective

Abstract

The essay aims to analyse the phenomenon of violence and harassment at work through an intersectional lens, integrating the prevention of this discriminatory phenomenon into general OHS measures. Proposing a discussion to guide research and legal practice through an integrated, intersectional and multidimensional regulatory model, it aims at overcoming the limitations of single-axis approaches and enhancing the synergy between anti-discrimination legislation, OSH protection, privacy law, and social policies. Particular consideration is given to the recent Italian regulatory framework, in the light of the ILO C. n. 190/2019, defining new strategies for the protection of workers in complex and diverse organisational contexts.
