In 2018, the Time's Up Movement declared "the clock has run out on sexual assault, harassment and inequality in the workplace". These demands also resonate with the world's major development goals: decent work and economic growth (SDG 8) and gender equality (SDG 5), and influence financial security and good health and well-being (SDGs 1 and 3). Intersections between violence, harassment and labour outcomes are particularly relevant for adolescents, because substantial proportions enter full-time work during adolescence and early adulthood; and global estimates indicate that abuse is prevalent before age 18, with 1 billion children and adolescents aged 18 and under reporting past year violence. However, there is little empirical evidence either globally or in Uganda on how experiences of violence in childhood and adolescence affect a) participation in skills programmes, entry into work, and decent employment; and b) about the extent and nature of physical, sexual and emotional violence experienced by young people in their workplaces. In this project, we will explore whether experiences of violence in childhood and adolescence lead to: inequalities in age at entry into work, retention in work, whether work is hazardous or non-hazardous; and the potential for these inequalities to be mitigated by skills training programmes and education. We will also explore the nature of workplace violence experienced by young people in employment. Our focus will be on Uganda but we will also use international data where relevant.To do this, we will conduct analyses of existing data and a new qualitative study, with input from a new network of stakeholders we will convene. We will map the current geographical coverage of skills training provision in Uganda, and describe how inclusive current skills programs are by sex, age, socio-economic status, disability status; how many existing programs address histories of violence in participants; and how many existing programmes contain any components to address workplace violence. We will conduct a systematic review of international longitudinal studies to explore links between childhood violence and employment outcomes. We will analyse data from 2 international datasets, the Violence against Children Surveys (VACS) from 8 countries, and the International Organization for Migration Trafficked Migrants Assistant Database for Uganda (TMAD). These analyses will tell us about whether and how experiences of violence are associated with working during childhood, and unaccompanied labour migration. We will use data from the Contexts of Violence in Adolescence Cohort (CoVAC) Study in Luwero District, Uganda, which follows adolescents over time. These unique data will provide information on whether previous experience of physical, sexual and emotional violence affect i) age at entry into the labour force, ii) retention in work, and iii) whether hazardous or non-hazardous work is undertaken. We will also document the prevalence of participation in skills programs, and whether this is related to the likelihood of hazardous work, and the prevalence of physical, sexual and emotional workplace violence.All of these analyses will inform questions for our new qualitative study. This study will examine people's experiences of being recruited into skills and employment programmes in Uganda, how programme recruitment mechanisms might in the exclusion of vulnerable young people, particularly those experiencing violence and/or child labour, and young people's views on the provision of violence prevention strategies within skills training programmes.Results from all of these analyses will inform network members about how best to make their skills programs more inclusive and relevant for people with histories of violence, and about how to use skills programmes as a platform to reduce workplace violence against Ugandan young people.

在2018年，《时代》运动宣布“时钟已经耗尽了工作场所的性侵犯，骚扰和不平等”。这些要求也引起了世界的主要发展目标：体面的工作和经济增长（SDG 8）和性别平等（SDG 5），并影响金融安全以及良好的健康与福祉（SDGS 1和3）。暴力，骚扰和劳动成果之间的交集与青少年特别相关，因为在青春期和成年初期，大量比例从事全职工作；全球估计表明，虐待是在18岁之前普遍存在的，有10亿儿童和青少年18岁及以下的报告暴力。但是，全球或乌干达几乎没有关于童年和青春期暴力经历如何影响a）参与技能计划，从事工作和体面的就业的经验证据； b）年轻人在工作场所经历的身体，性和情感暴力的程度和性质。在这个项目中，我们将探讨童年和青春期暴力经历是否导致：从事工作时的不平等现象，工作中保留工作，无论工作是危险还是无害；以及这些不平等的潜力通过技能培训计划和教育来减轻。我们还将探讨年轻人在就业中经历的工作场所暴力的性质。我们的重点将放在乌干达，但我们还将在相关的情况下使用国际数据。为此，我们将对现有数据和新的定性研究进行分析，并通过新的利益相关者网络的意见进行召集。我们将在乌干达绘制当前的技能培训规定的地理覆盖范围，并描述当前技能计划如何通过性别，年龄，社会经济地位，残疾状况来进行；有多少现有计划涉及参与者的暴力历史；以及有多少现有程序包含以解决工作场所暴力的任何组件。我们将对国际纵向研究进行系统的审查，以探讨儿童暴力与就业结果之间的联系。我们将分析来自2个国际数据集的数据，来自8个国家的儿童调查（VAC）的暴力行为以及国际移民贩运的移民助理数据库（TMAD）。这些分析将告诉我们有关在童年时期工作以及无人陪伴的劳动迁移时的暴力经历以及如何相关的。我们将在乌干达卢韦罗地区的青少年队列（COVAC）研究中使用来自暴力行为的情况，随着时间的流逝，该研究跟随青少年。这些独特的数据将提供有关以前关于身体，性和情感暴力的经验是否影响i）进入劳动力时的年龄，ii）保留工作，以及iii）是否进行了危险或非危害工作。我们还将记录参与技能计划的普遍性，以及这是否与危险工作的可能性以及身体，性和情感工作场所暴力的普遍性有关。这些分析的所有分析都将为我们的新定性研究提供问题。这项研究将研究人们在乌干达招募招募技能和就业计划的经历，计划招聘机制如何排除脆弱的年轻人，尤其是那些经历了暴力和/或童工的弱势年轻人，以及年轻人对在技能培训计划中提供暴力培训中的暴力预防策略的看法，以使人们对所有这些分析的措施及其对所有这些分析的措施进行更多的帮助，并将这些分析的方式与所有这些分析相关联，并将其提供更多这些分析，并将这些分析的方式与所有这些分析有关如何将技能计划用作平台，以减少针对乌干达年轻人的工作场所暴力。
