It is clear and latent that this conduct constitutes a serious violation of the right to just and equitable working conditions and such acts are perceived by women as an expression of social, ethical, moral and labor discrimination.
This conduct contaminates the work environment and has a harmful effect on the health, confidence, morale, psyche and performance of people regardless of their gender, who suffer from it, with serious consequences highly damaging to privacy and dignity. of people.
As usual the practice of the harasser takes place in total secrecy, and without witnesses, in situations that provokes in the victim the feeling that it is useless to report it, because ultimately it would be the victim’s word against the harasser. In this labyrinth, another social factor enters the scene and poorly learned by a society that is delayed in its maturation. Generally, the victim when he expresses his suffering as a result of harassment, lacking or being limited of truthful elements that demonstrate his torment, not only his tormentor, but a large part of society immediately begins with factors or stereotypes that “he will have problems in the house “,” has a bad character or a bad temper “,” personal problems “, and so on. endless aphorisms that make the victim see the guilty or worse, as an insurgent.

As I expressed at the beginning, Argentina is reluctant to give a normative body to this existential and growing problem. Only in international matters, we encourage ourselves to ratify a Convention of the International Labor Organization where the most illustrated is that every member state that ratifies Convention 190 must “respect, promote and ensure the enjoyment of everyone’s right to a world of work free from violence and harassment. “It also orders that the member state, after consultation with social actors, must adopt an” inclusive, integrated approach that takes into account it takes into account gender considerations to prevent and eliminate violence and harassment in the world of work ”, (Article 4).
It can be inferred that nowadays various terms are used to define this phenomenon: mobbing, psychoterror, psychological terror, moral harassment, psychological violence at work, workplace harassment, moral harassment, sexual harassment, harassment at work, workplace violence, violence in the workplace, among others, which allows us to affirm that the reality is that our country is indebted to this issue and its victims.
