Women power healthcare in the Maldives — but the system is failing them. This Women’s Day, the message is clear: to gain a stronger health system, we must give women healthcare workers the support they deserve. It’s time for real reforms.

The salary for all employees in the National Pay Framework is structured based on a standard requirement of eight working hours per day and six days per week.
It is imperative that the standards established under the National Pay Framework are implemented uniformly and equitably to all employees
Assigning inconsistent working hours to different employees, in contradiction to these standards, serves as an impediment to ensuring fairness and justice in the workplaces.

On the #InternationalMigrantsDay reflecting on this timely conversation.

Our population demographics are changing, as per the 2022 census data. 26 percent of our resident population represents migrants, from which 98 percent are migrants workers.
These numbers are projected to reach 50 percent of migrants making up our population by the year 2040,

Migrants are driving our economy, filling labor shortages in critical sectors(construction, tourism, agriculture).
The data is indicating that, majority of the migrants fill jobs in the informal forms of employment, making them subject to be pushed into precarious forms of employment and forced to work with very low wages and without adequate social protection provisions. This phenomena of increasing informality shows an upwards trend since the exclusion of migrants from the Minimum Wage Policy.

Despite the significant role played by migrants to their host communities, they continue to experience poorer health outcomes than host communities. The 2022 WHO report on the health of refugees and migrants highlight that Migrants face a myriad of challenges in accessing quality healthcare, such as insecure legal status, discrimination, cultural and language barriers, and financial and administrative obstacles. Ensuring their right to health requires strengthening health systems to be inclusive and responsive to their needs and is vital to achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals 2030.

The health and wellbeing of our communities are determined by the health of our population, including the Migrant population.

This is very true.
@MaldivesHPU has been demanding accessibility to state owned childcare facilities and providing childcare services at large healthcare settings as an incentive for employees.
The family dynamics have changed over the years, where families have moved to more nuclear arrangement of living, primarily forced due to the prevailing housing crisis in the greater Male' region.
Safety of children must be ensured - for a resilient future, essential component for workforce productivity and increased participation.

[ILAWnetwork @ILAW_Network]

The ILAW Network expresses its deep concern over the arrest of nearly 30 workers, including members of @FishermensUnion, who engaged in peaceful industrial action to improve their wages and working conditions. All must be released and their labour rights fully respected. @governmentmv @ilo @ituc @itucasiapacific

[Fathimath zimna @Fathimathzimna]

The incident at Addu High School has resulted in teachers from our community raising the concerns of security and safety in their working environments. The post from the expat teacher highlights the unfairness in which they have been forced to work. It is true - that many have not been given a fair chance to defend when they have been targeted and terminated.
The system needs to change and work for the safety of the very people who serve.

In Yesterday's Executive Board EB-167 of @PSIglobalunion, it was a pleasure to share @MaldivesHPU work around advancing #OSH and labor rights in the in Public Sector.

The attacks on the multilateralism - undermines the progress made towards social justice and workers rights - Public Services must fight back.
Organise.Organise.Organise and fight back.

EB-167 endorsed solidarity statement with flood victims in Sri Lanka and other parts of South East Asia, stating that these are not isolated events, but part of an escalating pattern of extreme weather fuelled by the global climate crisis. Workers in Asia and the Pacific are increasingly on the front lines of climate-related destruction, even as their governments face shrinking fiscal space and rising cost, and calling for urgent global action on climate change.

Support cadre workers in healthcare have been left behind.
For over 15 years, they have worked tirelessly—often under harsh conditions—for wages that have remained stagnant and far too low.

We call on the government to urgently review and increase the wages of all support cadre workers in healthcare. Their dedication deserves dignity. Their service deserves fair pay.

"Electricians, refrigeration technicians, mechanics, attendants, administrative staff, and all other support personnel play a vital role in delivering comprehensive and high-quality health services—often performing tasks that involve significant risk.

Despite their critical contributions, the salaries of support staff have not been reviewed in over 15 years. These workers deserve a well-defined career structure that offers opportunities for advancement, along with a salary scale that is commensurate with the value and demands of their work.

A dignified life is the right of every worker."
