The 112th ILO Conference is being held in Geneva from 3 to 14 June 2024. The tripartite discussions bring together representatives of governments, employers‘ unions and workers’ unions. NGOs also take part, without voting rights and as observers. 3 topics are proposed this year - fundamental principles and rights at work - biological hazards - decent work and the care economy. The WMCW, represented by Christine Isturiz, has chosen to follow the latter theme. The care economy accounts for 11% of global GDP and 381 million jobs worldwide, 3/4 of this unpaid work being done by women. Women are also very present in paid employment. Achieving gender equality is therefore a major challenge. The IYCW and CIJOC are also present.
