[Guy Ryder @GuyRyder]

Pleased to welcome @Yolanda_Diaz_ at @ILO and delighted Spain has ratified ILO Conventions 177 on Home Work and 190 on Violence & Harassment.

📣 BREAKING NEWS: The UK govt are officially scrapping our Human Rights Act.

This will undermine our rights & protections in the UK. It’ll also make it harder to hold other countries to account - at a time where it's needed more than ever.

Pls RT & spread the word #SaveTheAct

Concerning rumours that Foreign Secretary is looking to reduce ODA funding for conflict prevention, Health & climate change. As we emerge from a pandemic & teeter towards WW3 - surely this cannot be true, it’s illogical @CommonsIDC @bondngo @devex @LabourCID @FCDOGovUK

[CARE International UK @careintuk]

📣 The UK just became the 11th country to commit to tackling workplace violence and harassment by ratifying the @ilo's #C190.

Some good news among the gloom: the UK has today ratified ILO Convention 190, committing to ensure everyone can work free from violence and harassment, wherever they work. A great start to #IWD2022 @careintuk #ratifyC190

[Vicky Ford @vickyford]

Today the UK has ratified @ILO Convention 190 on violence and harassment in the workplace, underscoring our commitment to tackling gender-based violence and standing up for the rights of women and girls globally. Well done @theresecoffey ! #IWD2022

[Hester le Roux @HesterleRoux10]

Albanian Assembly voted unanimously last week to #RatifyC190. Once registered with @ilo that will make it 11 ratifications - where are the other 118 governments that voted in support of #C190 in June 2019? We need to pick up the pace! #StopGBVatWork @careintuk

In case anyone here in the UK needs a little rage to get them fired up for the week ahead...

[Will Worley @willrworley]

The Treasury has written off £4.3 billion of £5.8 billion lost to Covid-related fraud, reports the Times.

Nearly the same amount as was cut from the aid budget.

Women like Thuan are taking action to end gender-based violence & harassment at home & at work, but ILO Convention 190 could protect more workers everywhere.
We need more governments to #RatifyC190 & #EndGBV.
#16days

[Hester le Roux @HesterleRoux10]

Work can be a safe space if you face abuse at home but #COVID19 lockdowns took that away.
With #GBV ↗️ around the🌏 during the pandemic, new global laws can protect workers even when working from home.
Now, more than ever, we need governments to #RatifyC190 & #EndGBV #16Days

[CARE International @CAREGlobal]

Today is “International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women”! We must accelerate efforts to all forms of violence against women and girls particularly as a result of the #COVID19 pandemic. #16days #SolidarityDay
