Representatives from the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Population (MoLSPP), the State Labour Inspectorate Service, and the private sector attended the training.
The training was organised within the framework of the
"Strengthening women's human capital for their better labour market
outcomes" Technical Assistance implemented under the Azerbaijan
Rapid Technical Assistance Facility (AZTAF). AZTAF is financed by
the European Union and implemented by the World Bank.
In 2022, amendments to the labour code of Azerbaijan repealed
hundreds of job restrictions on women’s employment. The training
aimed to enhance the capacity of the MoLSPP, industries, trade
unions, technical universities, and other relevant stakeholders to
apply occupational safety and health knowledge through a gender
lens, with a particular focus on occupational safety, occupational
health, and violence and harassment in the workplace. The training
materials are available as a self-paced online course for future
use by government and educational institutions.
