ILO in Bangladesh
Commencement
Bangladesh has been an active member State of the ILO since 22 June 1972 and has ratified 33 ILO Conventions including seven fundamental conventions. The ILO opened its office in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 25 June 1973, and initially started working on expanding income-earning opportunities through labor-based infrastructure development and maintenance.

ILO 90th anniversary

ILO marks 90 years worldwide and its 36 years in Bangladesh highlighting social dialogue and decent work as the upcoming challenges to respond to the financial economic crisis. Activities include press briefing, trade unions rally and high level forum.

Activities
In keeping with the four objectives of the Organization, the ILO in Bangladesh attempts to respond to the needs of the constituents, i.e. the government, employers and workers in areas covered by the core mandate of the Organization. It offers a mix of policy advice and projects and programs conceived and implemented on the basis of International Labor Standards (ILS). Presently, a number of technical cooperation projects aimed at elimination and reduction of child labor from the organized and unorganized sectors of the economy are under implementation. Since the opening of the office, the ILO together with the Government of Bangladesh, Bangladesh Employers Federation (BEF), and the National Coordination Committee for Workers Education (NCCWE), has been working towards promoting decent and productive employment opportunities for women and men in Bangladesh. In addition, the ILO cooperates with many other key actors in civil society, academic and research institutions, private sector and media. As part of the UN system in Bangladesh, the ILO supports the Government of Bangladesh in implementing its Poverty Reduction Strategy (PRS) and in achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The following jobs are accomplished by ILO:

International Labor Organization Combating child trafficking in Bangladesh

02

The regional project to combat trafficking in children for labor and sexual exploitation TICSA II operates in Bangladesh as a part of ILOs Internal Program on the Elimination of Child labor (ILO-IPEC). Bangladesh is a source and transit country for labor migration and child trafficking, with both occurring internally and across borders. The ministries of Home, Social Welfare and Women and Childrens Affairs maintain statistics for cases of cross-border trafficking only. According to those records, there were 13,220 cases of child victims between 1998 and 2004, with only some 4,700 of them recovered. Non-government sources record other estimates that add to the speculative nature of trafficking incidence in the country. The labor exploitation of children is part of the vast informal economy operating in Bangladesh. The Government estimates that some 4.9 million children aged 5-14 are working many in hazardous conditions. Young girls are subjected to early marriage and dowry practices, which contribute to their vulnerability of being trafficked. A little less than 10 percent of the countrys 65.3 million children are without birth certificates, which also increase their vulnerability of being trafficked. The TICSA has launched a project named: ILO- TICSA regional project to combat child trafficking in Bangladesh.

Prevention of child trafficking: Concentrating on the districts of Thakurgaon, Dinajpur and Panchagarh, TICSA has aimed to prevent child trafficking through a multipronged approach that integrates such elements as: o Establish 13 child-friendly multipurpose community centers to provide a safe space for vulnerable children to learn and play. o Establishing 140 non-formal education units to provide service to more than 3,500 vulnerable boys and girls. o Providing economic empowerment assistance to some 300 families with children vulnerable to trafficking. o Mass awareness rising through a travelling theatre troupe, performing stories of trafficking in local rural areas to help expand peoples understanding of the dynamics of child trafficking. o Mobilizing grassroots communities and organizations by setting up 20 Community Vigilance Team (CVT) in three districts. CVTs have been trained to keep a look-out for vulnerable children and any suspected trafficking activity and to refer individuals needing help to appropriate agencies. Each CVT has about 20 members representing various local agencies about a third of the members are women.

ILO to mark 100th international womens day

GENEVA (ILO News) The International Labor Organization (ILO) will mark the centenary of International Womens Day on Monday 7 March with a panel discussion which will highlight the role of gender equality in securing a sustainable and equitable recovery. Focusing on the theme Making the crisis recovery work for women! a panel of experts will discuss how policy measures in the wake of the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression can ensure equal opportunities and treatment for women and men when it comes to jobs and working conditions. The panel will emphasize skills development and training policies, contributing to the UN theme for this Day: Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women. One hundred years on, despite some progress there is still much to be done to achieve gender equality in the world of work. The crisis has served to underscore and aggravate pre-existing inequality. Achieving gender equality remains a major challenge. Securing a sustainable and equitable recovery and a fair globalization demand gender-aware responses, said ILO Director-General Juan Somavia. According to the latest ILO data, both women and men continue to feel the impact of the economic crisis, with the global unemployment rate for men standing at 6 per cent in 2010 and 6.5 per cent for women. The ILO has upheld the principles of equal remuneration for work of equal value and of non discrimination since its founding in 1919. In 2009, the International Labor Conference passed a resolution on Gender Equality at the Heart of Decent Work guiding efforts towards a labor market in which all women and men can participate freely and

International Labor Organization actively. That same year the ILC adopted the Global Jobs Pact to help mitigate the social impact of the crisis. Amongst other measures, the Pact calls for recovery packages to take into account gender equality concerns.
