Access to quality education 📚✍🏽 has the power to change the 🌎 & transform lives by helping people overcome poverty, inequality & discrimination.
It's also a #HumanRight.
On #EducationDay, let's be inspired by Nelson Mandela's words & continue to prioritize education for all.
We already see an impact of #AI on jobs, including call centres and other services.
We don't foresee an AI fuelled jobs apocalypse but preparedness is vital.
Focus must be on people, in terms of skills and supporting transitions, through social protection & other means.

Human rights, including labour rights apply to migrant workers as any other worker.
Yet too many of the world's 169m migrant workers experience inequalities & discrimination.
We must recognize their contribution to societies and make decent work a reality for all!
#MigrantsDay
Inequalities in the world of work aren't just about wages - it's about opportunities, fairness, and justice.
Tackling the root causes isn't just a mission, it's a MUST.

I welcome the #COP28 deal and the vital move to transition away from fossil fuels.
It must be a #JustTransition and I'm encouraged a Just Transition Work Programme was also agreed, including reference to labour rights for the first time.
Now we need action, for people & planet.
75 years ago the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted after World War 2.
Human and labour rights are vital for peace, freedom, equality and #SocialJustice.
We all have a duty to uphold and protect them, especially in times of conflict and insecurity. #HumanRights75
