title:

Mainstream new ILS and other instruments into the ILO’s country programmes in order to consolidate and accelerate changes The new phase of the SIPP should further strengthen partnership with various formal and informal networks to share knowledge and advocate for new norms and standards related to UFW and GEND. There is also a need and an opportunity to integrate these new norms and standards into the ILO’s country programme in some ILO member states, where the commitment and capacity is there. Depending on the specific country context, here are some examples that the ILO should consider: 1. Build on the current research on barriers preventing Indigenous women from taking part in decision making, organization, and representation; promote national level interventions to enhance stakeholders’ awareness on Convention No. 169, especially in Bangladesh; and strengthen collaboration or joint action with unions and employers’ organizations that are keen to support indigenous women as well as indigenous women’s organizations, while also searching for a means to increase the involvement of indigenous women in activities. 2. Ensure that ILO social partners prioritize the work on care, pay equity, and prevention and protection from violence and harassment in the world of work, including the expansion of such work to the informal economy. 3. Continue working towards raising awareness of Convention No. 190 and its technical contents to ensure ratification. 4. Facilitate the constituents in developing a multisector strategy and action plan to address domestic work in order to maximize the sustainability of interventions.
