As #ILC2026 comes to a close, one thing is clear: the future of work must work for women too. ⚖️

👩🏾‍💻Women should not have to choose between caregiving and economic survival, and platform companies cannot profit from workers while disappearing when harm occurs. Accountability, social protection, and care must be at the heart of platform work.

For deeper insights, read @NicoleMMaloba's article on Women and the Platform Economy in Africa: Beyond Flexibility and Digital Innovation.

📈 Data is a powerful tool for ending violence against women and girls. It helps us uncover hidden realities, identify gaps in services, influence policy decisions, and hold duty-bearers accountable.

When backed by evidence, advocacy becomes stronger, more targeted, and harder to ignore. ✊🏾📢

📊 Gender data is more than numbers—it tells the story of who is being left behind, where inequalities exist, and what action is needed to create change.

When we analyze data through a gender lens, we can strengthen advocacy, influence policy, and drive accountability. ✊🏾♀️

That's exactly what we're learning in today's session on #DataDrivenAdvocacy for ending violence against women and girls. 💡📈

🌍A global call for climate action is also a call for accountability, financing, and meaningful participation of African women and girls in shaping climate futures.

The time is now to amplify voices, strengthen movements, and demand climate policies that leave no one behind.

🌍 Our planet is speaking.
🌊 The rivers whisper.
🌳 The forests sigh.
🌱 The soil cracks.
🌬️ The winds remember.

But listen closer... 👂🏾✨
Do you hear resilience? 💚
Do you hear resistance? ✊🏾🔥
Do you hear women and girls leading climate solutions every day? 👩🏾‍🌾

This #WorldEnvironmentDay, we turn up the volume 📢 on feminist climate action, because climate justice cannot happen without gender justice.

⏰ The time is #NowForClimate.

⚖️#GenderEquality in the world of work cannot simply mean getting more women into jobs. It must mean safe jobs, decent pay, social protection, and recognising that unpaid care work doesn’t magically disappear when women log on to work platforms.

📱Because flexibility without protection isn’t freedom.

As conversations continue at #ILC2026, the question remains: Are we building the future of work for women—or simply digitising inequality? 💭

📱 Africa’s platform economy is growing rapidly—but who is paying the price for this growth?

👩🏾‍💻 For many women, platform work is not merely about flexibility, innovation, or entrepreneurship. It often means navigating unpaid care responsibilities, unstable incomes, limited social protection, and unsafe working conditions.

🌍 As #ILC2026 begins today in #Geneva, we must move the conversation beyond digital innovation and ask tougher questions about digital justice, decent work, and gender equality.

📝 In this timely article, Nicole Mumala Maloba unpacks the realities shaping women’s experiences in Africa’s platform economy and why these conversations cannot wait.
