1.10 Overcoming discrimination: Working Out of Poverty
1.10 Overcoming discrimination: Working Out of Poverty
point for the ILO’s work to overcome discrimination is the right to equality
of opportunity and treatment in respect of employment and occupation. This
is the subject of this year’s Global Report submitted to the Conference.
The key to the success of promoting equality in the labour market is the active
involvement of trade unions, employers’ organizations and other stakeholders.
For example, the ILO and its constituents worked together to
develop the
Code of practice on HIV/AIDS in the world of work, a blueprint
to fight discrimination against workers affected by the disease. The code has
received wide acceptance and is increasingly used internationally. HIV/
AIDS compounds gender discrimination and impacts most severely on
women who are poor. Throughout the world, gender inequality intersects
with economic deprivation to produce more intensified forms of poverty, on
average, for women than for men.
Promoting gender equality and eliminating all forms of discrimination
at work are essential to defeating poverty. Understanding the particular
forms of discrimination at the local level is key to poverty elimination. They
vary from country to country and culture to culture.
