Above all the future of work must include the advancement of #DecentWork for migrant workers at all skill levels and sectors, leaving no one behind. The Global Compact on Migration gives us an opportunity to make this goal a reality together. #GCM

Proud that @ILO with 7 @UN organizations have launched the #MigrationMPTF to support efforts to realize commitments of the #SDGs and Global Compact on migration. This is a good example of multilateralism at work, to ensure #migration is safe, orderly and fair to all. #ILO100

The fight against child labour is at a crossroads. Choices made by governments now will make or break the lives of millions of children. Social protection is one of the most powerful measures to #EndChildLabour , providing families with income security in difficult times. #WDACL

#COVID19 risks creating a 'lockdown generation' of young people. Our latest data shows more than 1 in 6 young people, in jobs before the crisis, are no longer working. The 4th Monitor also shows testing and tracing will make return to workplaces easier:

#Seafarers have gone above and beyond during #COVID19 to keep trade and goods moving. Too many have been trapped at sea, facing extremely difficult conditions and are yet to be vaccinated. The @ILO is committed to decent work for all at sea and on land. #DayoftheSeafarer #MLC

#COVID19 has had a profound impact on the world of work and the safety and health of workers. On World Day for Safety and Health at Work @ILO calls for investment in resilient occupational safety and health systems, to address the pandemic now and to be ready for future crises.

Delighted that Namibia has ratified the @ILO Domestic Workers Convention and our Convention on Violence and Harassment. Both are key legal foundations for a #betterfutureofwork It's timely during #16Days and on the eve of #HumanRightsDay and I call on other countries to ratify.
