Grievance mechanisms enable people encountering work-based problems to communicate issues and complaints with managers in order for them to be addressed, considered and resolved. In a recent FNET webinar on gender in international supply chains, FNET members heard about the need to ensure that these channels for communication between workers and management are specifically tailored to pick up issues that relate to gender inequality.  These could range from very serious violations such as harassment and gender-based violence, to other issues around breaks, toilet facilities and workplace safety.   The Oxfam Business Advisory Service has developed a grievance mechanism with a gender lens (originally for Reckitt) that highlights the importance of including women, men and gender-expansive individuals in the development of the policies and how they are being implemented, and the importance of training for managers specifically on gender-based grievances and how to interpret and support people when problems arise.
