Women's economic empowerment

Zimbabwe has been a member of the ILO since 1980. Since then, the ILO has been actively engaged with constituents in the country to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, and enhance social protection. The ILO supports Zimbabwe through various programs that aim to improve employment practices, align national labour laws with international standards, and foster sustainable development that improves conditions for workers throughout the country.
