Depending on the perception of society, in some more, in some less, but there has always been a division into male and female jobs. Today, women are becoming more economically independent of men, doing more diverse jobs and making money themselves, and the line between jobs that are considered exclusively male and exclusively female is disappearing faster. However, even though they face positive changes in the world of work, women still, compared to men, receive less pay for the same job done in the same workplace and are considered less valuable, and thus more vulnerable to various forms of workplace violence and harassment. Gender-based violence used to mean exclusively violence against women, but today it is a much broader term, encompassing all those groups of people who do not fit into the conventional concept of gender. The occurrence of gender-based violence in the workplace and the consequences it entails is a problem for victims themselves and for employers and trade unions, and ultimately for society as a whole. Although there is a shift in identifying and addressing this issue at the legislative level, how and what mechanisms will improve victim protection in the future and whether it will work as expected in practice remains to be seen.
