Delighted to join Minister of Labour & Social Protection of the Republic of Moldova, Alexei Buzu & Nicolas SCHMIT to launch the new EU-funded project on Support for Inclusive Labour Markets in the country.
I thank EU Commissioner Schmit for his continued support for @ILO work.
Rich discussion with Prime Minister of the Republic of Moldova, Dorin Recean & Nicolas SCHMIT.
We spoke about the importance of Moldova's efforts to strengthen labour legislation and institutions, including to improve productivity & better match skills with job opportunities.
I send warm greetings to all those celebrating #EidAlFitr .
It comes against a background of multiple conflicts and crises, which continue to cause deep human suffering.
In order to achieve sustainable peace around the world, we must commit to increasing #SocialJustice for all.
April marks one year of war in Sudan. I'm deeply concerned by the loss of lives and livelihoods. Social justice is at the heart of durable peace, and the ILO stands ready to work with our United Nations partners to support social protection, decent work, & social justice for Sudan’s people.
The humanitarian situation in #Gaza , loss of life, livelihoods and plight of hostages, are of grave concern to @ILO.
I join António Guterres in calling on all parties to implement the United Nations Security Council resolution passed on Monday, with a ceasefire and release of all hostages.
On a day designated to #RememberSlavery and its victims, everyone should be aware that today 50 million people are in modern slavery globally.
It's completely unacceptable!
The global community must be relentless in efforts to #EndModernSlavery and achieve #SDG8 & its targets.
Delighted the Global Coalition for Social Justice now has over 200 partners.
I welcome all the governments, employer & worker organizations, international & regional orgs, enterprises, INGOs and academia that have joined.
Together we can achieve greater #SocialJustice for all!
Every woman and girl should have the opportunity to reach their full potential.
We must end discrimination, remove barriers, eradicate violence and harassment, and #InvestInWomen and girls.
There is no #SocialJustice without gender equality.

The @ILO Governing Body meets against the backdrop of multiple conflicts that are wiping out lives and livelihoods.
Labour markets have shown resilience but low job quality and its associated effects remain a concern.
The path to peace and prosperity for all is #SocialJustice .
Disability inclusion is a #humanright .
@ILO is fully committed to the United Nations Disability Inclusion Strategy.
Our ambition is for the ILO to become not only an employer of choice for persons with disabilities but also an example of disability inclusion in all its dimensions.
