International labour standards and equality in employment:
Focus on gender issues and racial discrimination
Putting an end to discrimination and to racial discrimination in the world of work is indispensable if we are to achieve sustainable development and greater individual well-being today. The promotion of equal opportunities has always been one of the priorities of the International Labour Organization (ILO) who adopted several international standards against employment inequalities. Some instruments affect all workers. Some others instead are related to gender equality and other specific categories such as migrant workers, indigenous workers or workers with HIV/AIDS.
