Marval Coordinates Report on Violence and Harassment in the World of Work

Marval O'Farrell Mairal was chosen by Thomson Reuters Foundation as the Argentinian representative and the international coordinator of a report on laws regarding violence and harassment in the world of work. The report analyzes the application of the ILO Convention 190 in eleven Latin American countries and was carried out at the initiative of ELA, a non-profit organization working on the promotion of women's human rights and gender equality in Latin America through rules, laws, and public policies.

Both Thomson Reuters Foundation and ELA chose Marval O’Farrell Mairal for the expertise of its members, who have already participated in four other international research projects.

This report includes a detailed description of the situation in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Chile, Ecuador, México, Paraguay, Perú, and Venezuela.

Marval’s role as international coordinator consisted in organizing, supervising, revising, and assembling the reports prepared by the different law firms collaborating with this project. The final version is expected to be delivered next month.

This report comes as a result of the joint work done by the Pro-Bono team members and the Diversity and Inclusion and Women Team members. The associates working on it were Julieta Altamirano, Jazmín Ailén Eroles, Paola Forchiassin, María Victoria Gonzalez, Rocio M. Goyanes, Javiera Martínez Correa, María Merello, Ornella Azul Morbelli and María Alejandra Stefanich.
