The project will increase the capacity of stakeholders, including individuals, communities, and institutions to address discrimination and gender-based violence and harassment (GBVH) in the world of work. It will also strengthen existing networks to address discrimination and GBVH in the world of work that include government entities at all levels, businesses, communities, civil society organizations, worker organizations, and other social partners. In addition, the project will facilitate communication between and across stakeholders and promote collective action to address discrimination and GBVH in the world of work.

DOL has identified the following outcome(s) as necessary to achieve the project objective: 1. Increased capacity of individuals, communities, and/or institutions to address discrimination and GBVH in the world of work. 2. Strengthened networks among individuals, communities, and/or institutions to address discrimination and GBVH in the world of work.
