SUMMARY:International Equal Pay Day
DESCRIPTION:Equal pay for work of equal value\nInternational Equal Pay Day represents the longstanding efforts towards the achievement of equal pay for work of equal value.  It further builds on the United Nations commitment to human rights and against all forms of discrimination\, including discrimination against women and girls. \nAcross all regions\, women are paid less than men\, with the gender pay gap estimated at 23 per cent globally. Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls continues to be held back owing to the persistence of historical and structural unequal power relations between women and men\, poverty and inequalities and disadvantages in access to resources and opportunities that limit women’s and girls’ capabilities.  Progress on narrowing that gap has been slow.  While equal pay for men and women has been widely endorsed\, applying it in practice has been difficult. \nIn order to ensure that no one is left behind\, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) address the need to achieve gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls.  Furthermore\, the SDGs promote decent work and economic growth by seeking full and productive employment and decent work for all women and men\, including for young people and persons with disabilities\, and equal pay for work of equal value. Mainstreaming of a gender perspective is crucial in the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. \nAchieving equal pay is an important milestone for human rights and gender equality. It takes the effort of the entire world community and more work remains to be done. The United Nations\, including UN Women and the International Labour Organization (ILO) invites Members states and civil society\, women’s and community-based organizations and feminist groups\, as well as businesses and workers’ and employers’ organizations\, to promote equal pay for work of equal value and the economic empowerment of women and girls.

SUMMARY:World Day Against Child Labour
DESCRIPTION:This year’s World Day Against Child Labour focuses on action taken for the 2021 International Year for the Elimination of Child Labour. It is the first World Day since the universal ratification of the ILO’s Convention No. 182 on the Worst Forms of Child Labour\, and takes place at time when the COVID-19 crisis threatens to reverse years of progress in tackling the problem. \nIn June for the World Day\, the ILO and UNICEF will release new global estimates and trends on child labour (2016-2020)\, under the aegis of Alliance 8.7. The report will include an assessment of how the pace of progress towards ending child labour is likely to be affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the unprecedented economic crisis that has accompanied it.
