On the same day, a fringe session was hosted on the International Labour Organization (ILO) Convention No. 190, which recognises the right of everyone to a world of work free from violence and harassment, including gender-based violence and harassment. Sister Mary chaired the session that welcomed both male and female delegates who believe in creating a safe workplace for everyone. Together with her ITF counterparts, Sister Mary shared with participants about the C190 Transport Toolkit, which was launched in 2021 and consists of eight briefings focusing on aspects of violence and harassment that affect transport workers most significantly. The toolkit is useful for raising awareness, promoting ratification and implementation, and encouraging unions to plan and organise campaign on violence and harassment.

As women continue to make up a small minority of transport workers around the world, the two sessions were useful in educating and galvanising ITF delegates to give their support so that women can work safely, with equal opportunities, in Transport Sectors around the world.
