Brazil and the ILO sign new South-South Partnership programme to promote social justice in the global South

A few days ago I already posted an article linked to Brazil "Human rights or enough food? ..." and now again Brazil is being mentioned. Some things eem to be going in the right direction in that country since the new president took over.

The program aims to support the promotion of decent work and social justice in developing countries in North and South America, Africa, and the Asia-Pacific region.

Four main issues are being addressed: 1. child labour and forced labour, 2. occupational safety and health (OSH) and labour inspection, 3. gender, race, and generational equity and promotion of equality in the world of work and lastly 4. decent employment and social protection.

The Programme signed today reflects Brazil’s commitment to social justice and correlates strongly with the current ILO World of Work Summit: Social Justice for All, which proved to be an excellent opportunity to hear the priorities of ILO constituents and other international agencies and actors and feed into the proposal to forge a Global Coalition for Social Justice
