🔺 Care work makes all other #work possible 🟡 Yet it's unpaid, undervalued & invisible in #GDP 📢 Recognize it. Reduce it. Redistribute it. Because it's investing in the infrastructure of daily life❗ ⚠️ Care is work we can't neglect. Period. ➡️ ilo.org/globalcare/ @ilo

Gender pay gaps ❌ Equal pay ✅ Work of equal value deserves equal pay — everywhere, for everyone. #EqualPay #GenderEquality

Across Africa, women are driving change in the world of work. Yet many still face barriers to equal opportunity, fair pay and safe workplaces. In this #IWD2026 message, @GilbertFHoungbo calls for real action to advance gender equality at work. When women thrive, societies and economies grow stronger. #InternationalWomensDay #DecentWork #SocialJustice #Africa 🌍♀️

Women’s rights are human rights. And investing in women and girls is one of the surest ways to make the world a better place Yet, progress on gender equality has been slow and uneven. It’s time to take action and deliver the equality our world so sorely needs. Women and girls are changing the world. Let’s change the world for women and girls.

It’s 2026—and women earn about 20% less than men on average. Unacceptable. Gaps persist in employment, earnings and leadership roles. At today’s pace, equality in employment could take nearly two centuries. There is no #SocialJustice without gender equality. #IWD2026

Generative #AI is reshaping the world of work, with the potential to boost productivity, support job creation and improve job quality, but its impacts are far from gender-neutral. 📖 New @ilo Brief explains: ow.ly/tWep50YpwvO #IWD2026

Did you know? 🌍 Women’s labour force participation in Sub-Saharan Africa is high (63–65%), yet nearly 89% remain in informal employment, and only 28% of managerial roles globally are held by women? Join our #IWD dialogue on 11 March 2026 Register 👉bit.ly/4kPA5sN

No worker should face discrimination or violence because of their health status. End violence and harassment faced by women living with HIV. #RatifyC190 #16Days #WorldAIDSDay2025

We hear from @GilbertFHoungbo, Director-General of the @ilo , as the launch of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence commences. #16Days #RatifyC190 @MusindoAlexio @UNinSouthAfrica @UN_Botswana @UNLesotho @UNEswatini @deptoflabour

Sexual harassment has no place in the world of work. 🚫 Yet, too many women still face violence and harassment daily. It’s time to ensure safe and dignified workplaces for everyone. Let’s make it clear: #NoExcuse for harassment. Join the call. #RatifyC190 #16Days

The ILO participated in the #EWWG Ministerial Meeting, underscoring the importance of advancing decent work, social justice, and gender equality as part of global efforts to achieve the Brisbane Goal on Women at Work. 🤝⚖️ #DecentWork #GenderEquality #EWWG @ilo

Investing in care is one of the smartest investments we can make. Care is essential to well-being, productive economies & sustainable societies—yet it’s underfunded. On the road to #SocialSummit2025, hear why it should be at the heart of social development.

A goal on his 200th appearance. Reece James is pure Chelsea. 💙

@dr_mairopa Congratulations Team. Be blessed 🙏🏾. Proud of you Muroora Dr Mutambanengwe-Chimedza

The team at Sally Mugabe Hospital successfully removed a 4kg tumour from a tiny 4 year old patient who had a total weight of 17kg (including the tumour!!!). It was a complex operation that required well coordinated surgical, anaesthetic, nursing and other technical teams. Just before we started, I took time to discuss the surgical procedure and anticipated critical events with lead anaesthetist, Dr Gwaze. Towering head and shoulders above everyone in the unit, Dr Gwaze is a formidable but reassuring presence in theatre, composed during critical periods. Dr Mutambanengwe caught us deep in discussion and remarked that I looked shorter than David in comparison. Children with cancer often have good outcomes but late diagnosis often complicates care.

💡 #G20 Workplace Dialogues for Dignity, @ILO is driving action to end GBV & harassment at work. From setting the scene on gender equality, moderating high-level debates, we’re shaping commitments for safe, inclusive & dignified workplaces for all. @tsitsi_ida @SimphiweMabhele
