[Gilbert F. Houngbo @GilbertFHoungbo]

Gender equality at work will not happen through promises and commitments. It requires real action.

It is a matter of rights. It is a matter of fairness. It is also smart economics.

Societies are stronger and economies more resilient when women can contribute fully.

Young people face growing uncertainty, from unstable work to limited social protection.

That pressure is reflected in declining well-being. But it’s not inevitable.
Stronger employment policies, stable jobs and social protection can restore opportunity. 🔗 https://t.co/x6MTRDep6a
