- context:
- Support from the donor was essential in this endeavor, as well as an emerging political informed approach to the selection of pilot and target countries, to maximize the chance of sustainable change and ownership of the interventions.
- description:
- Taking risks and focusing on politically sensitive topics related to the world of work, such as LGBT rights, can increase the ILO’s visibility and contribute to the protection of human rights
By partnering with Norway on the PRIDE Project, the ILO positioned itself as a champion of human rights in the context of Decent Work, and contributed to the wider UN effort to integrate SOGI into the human rights and non-discrimination framework. This shows the importance of being open to new and innovative initiatives by ILO departments, even if they may be politically sensitive in some regions.
