Dignity, security, respect—every worker deserves them.
No exceptions.
The ILO works for #DecentWork because human rights should not be compromised.
Modern slavery still exists in every region of the world.
In 2021, an estimated 50 million people were living in modern slavery, including 27.6 million in forced labour.
We must strengthen action to end exploitation and ensure dignity and #DecentWork for all. #RememberSlavery
Social security and health are fundamental human rights.
Yet even where laws guarantee equal access to healthcare, labour market inequalities mean women don’t benefit equally in practice.

It’s 2026—and women earn about 20% less than men on average. Unacceptable.
Gaps persist in employment, earnings and leadership roles. At today’s pace, equality in employment could take nearly two centuries.
There is no #SocialJustice without gender equality. #IWD2026
Ahead of #IWD2026, Hafeeza Mai’s story reminds us what courage sounds like:

Equal work deserves equal pay, regardless of gender.
Yet women’s earnings still trail men’s by about 20% on average worldwide.
