Domestic work is real work.

Yet, millions of domestic workers still lack labour rights, social protection and decent conditions.

An estimated 61% of child labour occurs in agriculture.

Investing in rural services, education, social protection and decent work is crucial for reducing child labour risks and supporting families in rural communities. #EndChildLabour

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

The International Labour Conference has adopted a new Convention on Decent Work in the Platform Economy.

This first international labour standard on the platform economy marks an important step in addressing a rapidly evolving area of the world of work.

Without stronger protection, domestic workers face rising risks of informality, forced labour, child labour, discrimination, violence and harassment.

Ending abuse starts with extending rights and protections. #RatifyC189

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

Fifteen years after the ILO Convention No. 189 recognized domestic work as real work, what has changed for domestic workers?

At the International Labour Conference, delegates reflected on progress made and the work still ahead.

[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

Domestic workers provide essential care and services that support households, communities and economies.

Yet millions still lack rights, protections and dignity.

The @ILO Domestic Workers Convention has advanced decent work for 15 years. I urge all countries to #RatifyC189.

[UN Zimbabwe @UNZimbabwe]

The NDS2 Key Performance Indicator Handbook provides a consolidated technically validated reference framework that streamlines our focus onto high impact outcomes.

Chief Secretary in the Office of the President and Cabinet Dr Martin Rushwaya said as he launched the handbook.

[ILO Pretoria @ilo_pretoria]

This #YouthDay, we celebrate the power and potential of young people to shape a more just and inclusive world of work.
