| Main Aims Of International Labour Organization (ILO) |
Today we will learn about the International Labor Organization, the United Nations justice agency and decent work.
One hundred years ago,
in 1919 when the ILO was created, employers' organizations and civil servants
realized that we needed to work together to improve the working conditions of
the world.
As communicated in the
ILO constitution: "the failure of any nation to recognize the individual
status of workers is an obstacle in the strategy for various nations wishing to
additionally foster conditions in their countries."
Therefore, one of the
main tools of our organization is to improve human performance he lives by
promoting social justice and promoting the noble work of all.
We use what we call
development partnerships to help our 187 member states address the social and
economic challenges of today's and future worlds, and in this article, you will
find some of our 760 ongoing programs and projects in more than 100 countries.
Globally, millions of
women and men enter the labor market every year, but often they lack the skills
that companies need. So how can we meet this challenge?
The ILO, as a third
party in which workers, employers and governments work together, and in which
the views of all economic actors are reflected, has developed an
education-based approach to education and training called STED, which operates
in countries at all stages of development.
In Myanmar, for
example, tourism is a major driver of social and economic progress. To help
Myanmar continue to develop its tourism industry, the ILO has helped build
partnerships between all stakeholders in the sector to create quality standards
for tourism directors.
In Cambodia, the ILO
has launched a program to develop national standards in four areas: heating,
machinery, fruit and vegetable processing and baking. This approach has already
had a direct impact on the lives of thousands of people. But what about the
billions of men and women who work in informal jobs that does not have
contracts and therefore do not have social protection. About one third of the
workers have part-time work in Central Asia Republic of Tajikistan. With the
new campaign, trade unions, with government support from the ILO, are
organizing mobile theaters, where they are often hired informally.
These games highlight
the challenges of informal employment and the importance of workers' rights. Entertainer:
"Beginning now and for a significant length of time, I as of now don't
work without a plan. Do you remember what you told me when you hired me?"
There is no work without rest. "I believe we were wrong.
I'm tired. Find someone
else. "After the movement, an association master drives a public
discussion to incite this key message: moving away from extricated up work is
possible!
Because disorder, in
extreme cases, can also be dangerous work ...In Malawi, one of the poorest
countries in the world, about 1.5 million children are employed. Ethel:
"In the wake of picking tobacco I experience the ill effects of migraines
and stomach torments."
The ILO and its
partners in Malawi have responded to the failure of child labor by developing
an effective intervention model called the SNAP project.
Once working children
are found, very young people are enrolled in illegal education to prepare them
for public school. On the other hand, 14- to 18-year-olds receive hands-on
training such as carpentry or sewing.
The SNAP project has
changed not only lives, but also attitudes. Gift Mandela: "In the future I
dream of having my own shop and I will not hire children, I will only hire
adults." However, the scourge of child labor exists in every region of the
world, from Asia to Europe.
Turkey is the world's
largest producer of hazelnut, most of which comes from the Urdu province of the
Black Sea. All families of part-time workers set up their camps here at harvest
time and we can still find young children working with their parents.
The ILO has therefore
worked with hazelnut producers and the government building a school near the
camps. Now, children can continue to learn during the harvest season.
All over the world, men
and women have to go looking for work, but even if they live in their own
country, they can be in danger. Bolivia, especially its capital La Paz, is
currently under construction with the growing demand for labor, the majority of
new construction workers are women, especially indigenous women from rural
Bolivia, so they are at risk of harassment and discrimination.
The ILO works with
organizations, local government and employers to raise awareness of the rights
of indigenous women and to train them in occupational safety in the
construction industry. Navidad Velasco: "In the past there was no security
and there were numerous mishaps yet presently on account of this preparation,
we are currently mindful of our wellbeing and we are tending to one
another." Indigenous ladies like Navidad actually face numerous
deterrents. But by providing them with training that makes them aware of their
rights, we ensure that they have the right to speak. But for others, living in
their own country can be dangerous or deadly.
Hundreds of thousands
of registered Syrian refugees now live in Jordan, driven from their homes by
the civil war in Syria. They have little chance of getting a job but a new
initiative from the ILO connects local employers with refugees looking for
work. In a pilot project, the ILO organized job fair days and career advice at
the Zaatari refugee camp.
A
material maker wound up employing 19 ladies from the camp. Samira Alsmadi:
"from the beginning, our monetary circumstance was extremely frantic now
we're vastly improved. We feel more comfortable, we love life and it's like
starting to live again." For the refugees who now have a stable employment
opportunity, the program has changed their lives and those of their families. But
for others, working abroad can sometimes result in dangerous and threatening
situations.
In Rome, a special unit dedicated to combating the scourge of human trafficking in Italy carries out unannounced inspections of companies in which potential victims may be working.
The ILO assumes a critical part in the advancement of the present circumstance. Our manual for labor inspectors helps them identify cases of exploitation and forced labour. One Thursday evening, the carabinieri war room in Teramo gets a call from a unit in the field: a suspicious activity is reported in a darkened factory on the outskirts of a nearby town.
The Carabinieri established a perimeter around the factory. No one will be allowed to leave. Then comes the signal to enter. Chinese workers at this factory sew branded jeans for the Italian fashion industry in hot, dirty and noisy working conditions but it's not just a factory it's also a home. These young kids and children were found in a room. This evening, three workers without documents were found and the owner of the factory investigated for violations of the law on the protection of victims of forced labour.
Notwithstanding the Carabinieri, wellbeing investigators were likewise present. For if the plant presents critical wellbeing and security infringement, it very well may be shut right away. Because occupational health and safety is paramount, and without it, tragedy can strike! Khaleda is one of the large numbers of article of clothing laborers in Bangladesh. Khaleda was lucky. She survived after being trapped for 16 hours under the rubble of Rana Plaza, the deadliest disaster in the history of the garment sector. What happened that day is never very far from her mind...
The structure began to shake, there was a ton of clamor and I began running. After five or six steps, I couldn't see anything anymore, and I started falling like an elevator. I was crying, the roof was so closed that he touched my nose and every time I breathed, I felt it on my face. We believed that we planned to bite the dust and we bid farewell to each other. As a result, the government of Bangladesh, the garment sector, trade unions and the international community are working together to improve workplace safety standards. With the support of the ILO, teams of engineers systematically inspect garment manufacturing factories in Bangladesh.
If we find that there is a problem in a factory, then we will immediately evacuate that building and stop all the activities and it will go directly to the review panel.
Khaleda had the option to conquer the injury of the Rana Plaza. She has since been trained through an ILO project and her new skills have empowered her and given her a new outlook on the future. This coordinated response in Bangladesh is directed towards a single goal: to ensure that a disaster like Rana Plaza never happens again.
Every day, the ILO continues its founding mission: to work for social justice which is essential for lasting and universal peace. Thanks to the work of our organization, its members and partners, this has become a reality for thousands of women and men around the world who now have rights at work,decent jobs, access to social protection and social dialogue.
It gives them a voice for working conditions that are honorable and equivalent. We are proud of our history and look forward to changing lives for the better in our next hundred years.
