This training programme was sponsored by the ILO and developed in close collaboration with the Qatar’s Ministry of Administrative Development, Labour and Social Affairs. It provides both theoretical and practical knowledge about Discrimination, Violence and Harassment, through the lens of key international Labour Standards.
Introduction to the course
This self-guided learning experience will literally take you through an immersive journey. First you’ll be driving through the Qatari desert and urban environment: your route will be scattered with road works, unexpected diversions and unforeseen events, just like the employment trajectory of certain individuals may be disrupted and slowed down by discrimination and inequalities, based on their individual characteristics.
After rehearsing and practicing how to identifying and tackle such obstacles through exercises and simulations, you will finally get to the Airport, where your will take off towards the second part of your journey.
You will land in the modern city of Doha and head off to a very special exhibition, exploring the different facets of violence, harassment and unacceptable behaviour in the world of work, through a gender perspective and beyond.
Again, before you successfully conclude your tour, collect all your exhibition badges and head back out in the Gulf’s sun, you’ll have the chance to practice and simulate how to prevent and effectively respond to such terrible phenomenon.
Here are some of the topics covered in the programme:
Discrimination
- Discrimination: definitions, types, root causes and possible grounds;
- A Human Rights obligation: the international and regional legal framework;
