Great exchange today with EU Commissioner @hadjalahbib in Brussels.

We agreed to continue our cooperation on gender equality, and discussed the importance of decent job creation to #peace and stability, in the context of protracted crises.

Fruitful exchange with EU Commissioner @dubravkasuica on cooperation with @ILO in the Mediterranean and Gulf countries.

We agreed to follow up on how best to address demographic challenges and their impact on the world of work.

Very good to meet @eucopresident, António Costa, in Brussels.

Nieuwe engagementen van de 3 vakbonden voor gendermainstreaming. Weer een stap dichter bij meer gelijke kansen voor vrouwen en mannen in het beleid en op het werk. Proficiat !

[Ann Vermorgen @AnnVermorgen]

Het ACV-CSC ondertekende het charter voor gendermainstreaming. De strijd voor gelijke kansen vrouwen en mannen blijft belangrijk. O.a. op de werkvloer, in het beleid. Tip voor de federale onderhandelaars: doe de gendertoets bij het bedenken van maatregelen.

[Lieve Verboven @LieveVerboven]

Proficiat aan de 3 nationale vakbonden voor de hernieuwing van sterke engagementen ter bevordering van gendermainstreaming. Er is veel vooruitgang, maar ook nog werk op de plank.

[COV @hetCOV]

20 jaar geleden tekenden ACV het charter voor gendermainstreaming. Veel vooruitgang geboekt, maar de strijd voor gelijke kansen blijft belangrijk, zeker nu de druk toeneemt. Met trots ondertekenen de vakbonden vandaag, met 3 vrouwelijke algemeen secretarissen, het charter opnieuw

The 5th @WorldCococoaConf, the leading event for the global cocoa sector, ended this week. I emphasised the need to tackle root causes of poverty to advance on the quest for sustainability.

[ILO-Brussels @ILOBrussels]

.@ILO was @WorldCocoaConf focussed on making the cocoa supply chain more sustainable

💡New legal frameworks in chocolate-consumer countries can generate change, but must go hand-in-hand with tackling the root causes of decent work deficits in the sector
