Gender equality at work and women’s leadership in diplomacy are inseparable goals, @ilo's Chidi King told the @UN Human Rights Council on #WomenInDiplomacy Day. Both are essential to more inclusive, representative and effective institutions, she said. #HRC62

Close to 90% of global trade moves by sea. 🚢 Seafarers make it possible. 👨‍✈️ 👩‍✈️ The Maritime Labour Convention sets minimum standards to protect them, from wages and safety to dignity. ⚓ #DecentWork at sea matters. #DayoftheSeafarer
