  • Indigenous Peoples' Access to Decent Work and Social
    INTER-AGENCY SUPPORT GROUP ON INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ ISSUES THEMATIC PAPER towards the preparation of the 2014 World Conference on Indigenous Peoples INDIGENOUS PEOPLES’ ACCESS TO DECENT WORK AND SOCIAL PROTECTION JUNE 2014 Thematic Paper on Indigenous Peoples’ Access to Decent Work and Social Protection The United Nations Inter-Agency Support Group (IASG) on Indigenous Issues aims to strengthen cooperation and coordination among UN agencies, funds, entities and programmes on indigenous peoples’ issues and to support the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. It also seeks to promote the effective participation of indigenous peoples in relevant international processes. At its annual meeting held in October 2013, the IASG decided to develop a set of collaborative thematic papers to serve as background information and analysis on key issues to contribute to the process and preparations for the World Conference on Indigenous Peoples. The preparation of each paper was led by one or more agencies with inputs from other IASG members. The papers do not present or represent formal, official UN policy positions. Rather, they reflect the collective efforts of the Inter-Agency Support Group to highlight selected key issues and to provide substantive materials to inform the Conference, with a view to contributing to the realization of the rights of indigenous peoples. *The chair of the IASG rotates annually amongst the participating agencies. The Support Group has been chaired by the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) until the end of the 13th session of the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues in May 2014. The Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) is currently holding the chair of the Group.

  • How Inequality Defines Women's Work in Asia
    OXFAM ISSUE BRIEFING JUNE 2016 Factory workers step out of their shuttle bus as their shift ends. Hlaing Thar Yar Industrial Zone, Yangon, November 2015. Photo: Kaung Htet/Oxfam UNDERPAID AND UNDERVALUED: HOW INEQUALITY DEFINES WOMEN’S WORK IN ASIA Rising economic inequality across Asia is threatening poverty reduction and slowing down the fight against gender inequality. Although the region has experienced economic growth, the bottom 70 percent have seen their income share fall while the share for the top 10 percent has increased rapidly. Low wages and a lack of rights at work, particularly for women, are at the heart of this scandal. At the same time, women are subsidizing the economy with a disproportionate responsibility for unpaid care work. Achieving living wages and recognizing, redistributing and reducing unpaid care work could support both economic and gender equality in Asia and should be prioritized by both governments and businesses. www.oxfam.org 1 INTRODUCTION For women across Asia, access to decent work and a living wage represents a fundamental pathway out of poverty, and one of the best ways to counter the dangerous tide of growing economic inequality. Yet in recent decades, working people, in rich and poor countries alike, have received a smaller and smaller slice of the economic pie, while those who own capital have seen their assets grow disproportionately. Low wages for the majority of people, and particularly for women, are at the heart of this scandal. At the same time, women continue to carry out the majority of unpaid care and domestic work, which is essential to keep economies functioning but is unrecognized and undermined in policy making.

  • Stopping Forced Labour and Slavery-Like Practices the ILO Strategy
    Stopping forced labour and slavery-like practices The ILO strategy According to ILO’s most recent global estimate, there are at least 20.9 million victims of forced labour, trafficking and slavery in the world today. About 90 per cent of today’s forced labour is exacted in the private economy, primarily in labour intensive industries such as manufacturing, agriculture and food processing, fishing, domestic work and construction. While global interest in combating forced labour has grown exponentially in recent years, responses still fall far Our vision is that no short of addressing the full scale and scope of the problem. person, of any age, race, origin or religion, any- Forced labour affects the most vulnerable and least protected where, spends a day of people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and depend- his or her life working ency.

ILO’s strategy seeks to man treatment. address root causes of forced labour both by empowering vul- nerable people to resist coercion at work and by addressing the factors that allow unscrupulous employers to profit from their exploitation. Eliminating forced labour is therefore an important contribution to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. The overall goal of ILO’s strategy is a global reduction in forced labour and related practices of at least 30 per cent by 2015, equivalent to some 6 million fewer people trapped in work against their free will. In order to successfully achieve these goals, the ILO would require an annual allocation of 15 million US$ .

  • STANDARD GUIDANCE (COP 18) Forced Labour
    STANDARD GUIDANCE (COP 18) Forced Labour A. Definitions and applicability Forced labour is all work or service which is exacted from any person under the menace of any penalty and for which the said person has not offered himself voluntarily. This includes work or service that is demanded as a means of repayment of debt. Types of forced labour can include: Bonded labour, also known as ‘debt bondage’, involves the taking of a loan or wage advance by a worker from an employer or labour recruiter, in return for which the worker pledges his or her labour and sometimes that of family members in order to repay the loan. The terms of the loan or work, however, may be such that the worker is trapped with that employer for years without being able to pay back the loan. Indentured labour arises when a third party, often a parent or guardian, offers a worker in exchange for a sum of money. In this situation, workers must work for either a defined period of time, or until the proprietors determine that they have received fair value. Prison labour: involuntary work performed by prisoners who have not been convicted in a court of law and whose work is not supervised by a public authority is considered forced labour. Similarly, involuntary work performed by a prisoner for the benefit of a private undertaking is also considered forced labour. Human trafficking is the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of the threat or use of force or other forms of coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception, of the abuse of power or of a position of vulnerability, or of the giving or receiving of payments or benefits to achieve the consent of a person having control over another person, for the purpose of exploitation.

  • Women and the Economy
    Women and the economy 1. Global commitments This chapter of the Platform for Action is concerned with the obstacles faced by women in gaining equitable opportunities and rewards in economic participation. There are six strategic objectives. Promote women’s economic rights and independence, including access to employment, appropriate working conditions and control over economic resources. Facilitate women’s equal access to resources, employment, markets and trade. Provide business services, training and access to markets, information and technology, particularly to low-income women. Strengthen women’s economic capacity and commercial networks. Eliminate occupational segregation and all forms of employment discrimination. Promote harmonization of work and family responsibilities for women and men. Article 11 of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) commits States parties to take “all appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination against women in the field of employment in order to ensure, on a basis of equality of men and women, the same rights”, and “to prevent discrimination against women on the grounds of marriage or maternity and to ensure their effective right to work.” The International Labour Organization (ILO) has adopted a number of Conventions of particular relevance to gender equality, in particular the four key gender equality Conventions. These are the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), the Equal Remuneration Convention, 1951 (No. 100), the Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 (No. 156) and the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183). The Commission on the Status of Women continues to emphasize the importance of achieving equality in employment and economic activities.

    July 26, 2011 u vol. 108 u no. 30 u 12187–12560 Cover image: Pictured is a Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii), a carnivorous marsupial whose numbers are dwindling due to an infectious facial cancer called Devil Facial Tumor Disease. Webb Miller et al. sequenced the genome of devils from northwest and south- east Tasmania, spanning the range of this threatened species on the Australian island. The authors report that the sequences reveal a worrisome dearth of genetic diversity among devils, suggesting the need for genetically characterized stocks to help breed hardier devils that might be better equipped to fight diseases.
