Far too many nurses and other health & care workers are exposed to the risk of violence at work. They deserve our respect and support.

Today is International Human Rights Day! We have to remind ourselves of what this means in daily life. In times like these Human Rights are under attack. Stand up and defend them!

Health & care workers care for you. Too many of them are shadow workers in informal & often precarious working situations. They deserve recognition & decent work, with proper pay, social protection & safe and healthy work.

Care work is undervalued & often invisible, subsidzing health systems. Care workers -paid or unpaid - have a right to safe & healthy working conditions.

[International Labour Organization @ilo]

👩🏻‍🍼👩🏾‍⚕️When we need a hand to hold or a shoulder to lean on, care workers are there.

Let's give them the recognition and support they deserve.

ALL people detained are protected under the Geneva Conventions - those fighting or not.

ALL people detained must be treated humanely, and with dignity.

Their capture must be notified, so they can ensure their families know.

The Geneva Conventions are clear.

Among the critical issues to be addressed is ensuring safe & healthy workenvironments, equal pay for work of equal value & respecting the voice of health workers. @Working4H @ilo @workershealth @PSIglobalunion @hopfe_m

Equal work deserves equal pay, regardless of gender.

Yet, women earn 20% less than men for the same work.

⏰ End inequality. End the gender pay gap.
