Gender equality
Despite significant advances in gender equality at work over the past century, progress in closing gender gaps remains slow and far from being a reality for many women and men. Working with its constituents, UN agencies and development partners, the ILO is implementing a transformative agenda on gender equality, equality of treatment and opportunity for all. This broadly includes promoting gender equality, non-discrimination and inclusion, reducing the gender pay gap; promoting decent work in the care economy; and ending violence and harassment in the world of work.
