Access to healthcare, child benefits, and income support for the vulnerable can reduce inequalities and create fairer opportunities for all. 8 in 10 unemployed persons lack protection. Universal social protection is a necessity for fairness and dignity for all. #UHCDay

I welcome Spain’s ratification of the @‌ilo Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183). This decision strengthens Spain’s commitment to comprehensive maternity protection, allowing women workers to reconcile family and working life successfully & advancing #GenderEquality.

Social justice cannot be achieved if violence and harassment persists. Human rights begin in the workplace. Call on your leaders to #RatifyC190. #16Days #SocialJustice

Labour rights are human rights that protect us, improve conditions, & ensure dignity in our everyday work. From fundamental freedoms to working hours, pay, and social protection, international labour standards advance decent work & support sustainable business. #HumanRightsDay
