comments:

The Office will continue to pursue meaningful opportunities for collaboration on issues of intersectionality and intersectional identities. It will place emphasis on the lived experience of the persons involved (for example, persons with disabilities, women, people living with HIV, indigenous persons, persons belonging to racialized groups), with a view to identifying negative power dynamics that foster exclusion and opportunities for concrete responses. The Disability Champions Network (DCN) will increase its outreach to the ILO Gender Focal Points and ILO HIV Focal Points, and it has already invited representatives of both groups to become permanent Observers within the DCN. The DCN will provide increased guidance on how to include persons with disabilities across the Office’s work. Moreover, as accessibility will be the annual theme for the DCN’s work in 2024, it will host technical discussions on how to make the ILO’s work more accessible for persons with multiple lived experiences and identities.

title:

6. Increase cooperation within and between departments, paying particular emphasis to the opportunities offered by focusing on intersectionality of lived experiences and affected groups. In particular, there are opportunities to strengthen disability inclusion within work on the care economy and violence and harassment in the world of work. Additionally, strengthening collaboration between the disability champions and the gender focal points will help strengthen attention to intersectional discrimination. Building on the resources of the ILO/AIDS staff in country offices should also be considered.
