Rising burden of gender-based violence at workplace in the digital era: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Gender-based violence (GBV) disproportionately affects young women and girls, Indigenous women and girls, newcomer women to Canada, women living with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ individuals. A systematic review was carried out to find evidence from a global perspective, and the obtained data were then appraised and synthesized to inform the creation of rigorous policies, best practices and effective interventions to address GBV in the workplace. The objectives of this systematic review are i) to qualitatively identify the prevalence and experience of GBV in digital work environments and ii) to evaluate the efficacy of current workplace policies, interventions or tools to protect against GBV in the workplace.
