A just #FeministEconomy = decent work & secure incomes, #TaxJustice with sufficient gender responsive quality public services & corporate accountability. Read recommendations to achieve this in @woman_kind briefing launched at #CSW63 : https://t.co/UlAlHEANCS
States must take responsibility to fund robust social protection systems & inclusive, accessible, affordable public services & infrastructure. #FeministVision#CSW63
A #FeministVision that connects the dots:
If the care economy was supported via social protection – including gender-balanced paid family leave & fair pay for care work – women could earn a decent wage and access pensions & other contributory social security systems #CSW63
Care work is vital. But the costs of providing it fall disproportionately to women & girls via unpaid & poorly paid care work. Gender equality requires recognising & valuing care work & redistributing it across households & public services #csw63#FeministVision
Realizing worker rights for everyone means enabling inclusion of lesbian, bisexual women, transgender people and gender non-conforming people in work places. #CSW4LBTI#CSW63#FeministVision@ilo@UnionCSW
Gloria Mills at #CSW63 argues for adoption of human rights-based approach to #publicservices that respects the dignity and human rights of women & girls. Governments & States must be the primary providers of public services. #WomenPowerUnions https://t.co/G0PEdUFK4m
