The Annual United Nations Commission on the Status of Women meet in March every year to address the widespread inequalities, violence and discrimination women continue to face all around the world. These are the 100+ strong labour delegation of union women from around the world Over the next two weeks, governments will negotiate an agreement on how to tackle women's poverty. Unions are demanding that the agreement recognize fundamental labour rights, the importance of investment in public care services, and the crucial role publicly provided social programs play in preventing women's poverty. Our message is clear: ending women’s poverty starts with strong unions and quality public services!
