Together For A Just World

easy access to childcare services, paid leaves should be increased, and governments
should allocate more resources to caregiving services.
- Efforts should be intensified in the media to make women visible through their labor
rather than normalizing violence against women or objectifying them.
- Wage inequality should be considered a form of economic violence. To prevent
workplace violence, workloads must be distributed fairly.
- Labor organizations must be regarded as indispensable stakeholders in public po-
licies to prevent violence in working life, and social dialogue mechanisms should be
utilized.
- In the current global system, where capital fl ows freely but labor mobility is restric-
ted, the result is a refugee crisis. In this context, the lives, dignity, and labor of migrant
women must be holistically protected.
Lastly, as crucial as preventing violence against women in working life is addressing
the horrifying tragedies faced by women and girls in war and confl ict zones. Over the
past year, more than 45,000 people have lost their lives due to Israel’s brutal attacks,
70% of whom were women and children. Women and girls who survive are strugg-
ling daily to stay alive. Women battling hunger and poverty lack access to healthcare;
pregnant women are forced to give birth on the streets; infant mortality rates have
reached alarming levels, and women are dying in aid queues. Therefore, the fight aga-
inst violence against women must begin in Gaza. November 25 should be a turning
point when labor movements worldwide listen to the cries from Gaza and transform
women’s solidarity into a global struggle.

As the International Labor Confederation (ILC), which considers all forms of violence
against women a betrayal of humanity, we assert that a “Just World” founded on so-
lidarity in labor is possible through a violence-free social life and work environment
befitting human dignity.
We will continue to fight for a just world where women’s labor is not exploited as
cheap labor, where they are not subjected to mobbing, where their maternity rights
are protected, where work-life balance is achieved, and, most importantly, where their
right to life is not violated.

Long Live the Global Solidarity of Labor Against Violence!
Long Live Our Organized Strength, Long Live the Brotherhood of Labor!
