Resource Guide - Gender equality in the world of work
This resource guide provides gender equality information via links to both ILO and other publications, statistics, ILO labour standards, as well as to other resources around the world.
The primary goal of the ILO is to promote opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security and human dignity. Thus, ILO considers gender equality as a key element in its vision of Decent Work for All Women and Men for social and institutional change to bring about equity and growth. The main focus or thematic areas of the ILO on gender equality coincide with the organization's four strategic goals, which are to: promote fundamental principles and rights at work; create greater employment and income opportunities for women and men; enhance the coverage and effectiveness of social protection; and strengthen social dialogue and tripartism.
This guide was produced jointly by the ILO Bureau for Gender Equality and the ILO Library.
