Gender Equality and Discrimination
Promoting gender equality is at the heart of the ILO’s mandate, and has been since its first Constitution was adopted in 1919. A range of international labor standards, declarations and resolutions over the years have served to reinforce the importance of this issue for the ILO and its constituents. The global community has recently affirmed a universal consensus on the centrality of gender equality with the adoption of the
2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Gender equality is key to the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 8 on decent work.
The ILO Office in Washington works in close collaboration with its U.S. constituents to advance compliance of core labor standards and promote greater gender equality in the U.S. workforce.
