Virtual Course on Gender Violence at Work Launched  

Enrollment for the Spanish version of the first RIAL/OAS Virtual Course is now open! The course is focused on Gender Violence at Work and was developed in partnership with the Inter-American Commission of Women (CIM) and the Educational Portal of the Americas.  It is currently in process of translation and enrollment for English speakers will begin in early 2022. This first version is exclusively for Ministers of Labor and, after excellent reviews from participants in the pilot group, we know for sure that its contents are relevant, useful and practical.
