The Kenyan government is holding nationwide consultations on ratifying two International Labour Organization (ILO) conventions to strengthen workers' rights, particularly for domestic workers and to combat workplace violence and harassment.

• These conventions aim to formalize domestic work, ensuring rights like minimum wage and social security, and implement comprehensive prevention and remedy strategies for workplace violence.
• Labour Principal Secretary (PS) Shadrack Mwadime highlighted that public participation is crucial to address policy and legal gaps for effective implementation once ratified.
• Studies indicate that over 50 percent of women and about 30 percent of men experience workplace harassment, with informal, women, and migrant workers facing heightened risks.
