Ten years ago, @ILO adopted #Protocol29 to boost the global fight against #ForcedLabour.  Today, we celebrate progress and renew our commitment to #DecentWork. 🌍💪 ➡️ Explore how nations are tackling forced labour: bit.ly/4evSbvP    #HumanRights #RatifyP29

Many migrant care workers earn 20% less than their national counterparts, despite playing a vital role in global care workforces. 🔔It’s time to address this inequality and protect their rights. 📑 ow.ly/i7s550TSFUJ

Care work is the foundation of societies. Yet the way care is organized reinforces gender & social inequalities. I urge Member States to take forward @ILO's Resolution on Decent Work & the Care Economy to improve care provision, decent care work, and gender equality. #DayOfCare

Protecting care work is essential to the future of decent work. On Tuesday’s #DayOfCare, join us in recognizing paid care workers and advocating for measures to combat stereotypes surrounding care & support roles. un.org/en/observances… via @ilo

Imagine having to leave your job because childcare isn’t available. In Ethiopia, an onsite childcare facility supported by an @‌ilo project means this mom can stay at work with her child nearby. 👩‍👧 Watch her story 👇 #DayOfCare

Today global trade unions representing over 200 million workers filed a case against #Israel at the @ilo over violations of the Protection of Wages Convention (No.95) relating to unpaid wages of over 200,000 Palestinian workers in Israel. 🧵1/8

I welcome the @UN Pact for the Future. The global community needs a modernized multilateral system that aligns economic, social & environmental goals. A human-centred approach that prioritizes #SocialJustice & just transitions to greener more technologically advanced societies.

On #LabourDay, I remind States that protection of workers' rights, including trade union rights, is essential in preventing contemporary forms of #slavery. This year I dedicate my report to #UNGA79 on the role of workers' organisations.

On #LabourDay, we champion a future where everyone has fair opportunities. Let's tackle inequalities and build a sustainable world together. #ThisWayToSocialJustice

Labour migration can be a journey to a better life, but it shouldn't come with the cost of human rights. 🤚 Stand up for equal treatment. #ThisWayToSocialJustice

🤱🏽 Even though domestic workers provide direct care that requires special skills, they are not always recognized as qualified caregivers or properly compensated 🪙 #CareForThoseWhoCareForYou #DomesticWorkIsCareWork #DomesticWorkersAreCareWorkers #TimeToCareAndSupport #Care2023
