When workers are provided safe working conditions, equal treatment and opportunities, labor rights and fair wages, their economic well-being and dignity are maintained. To advance social justice and create an inclusive society, the labor sector needs to create and promote widespread awareness of workers' rights as well as their skilling and re-skilling on new technologies. These efforts will contribute to a more informed, skilled and empowered workforce. Targeted policies for vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities, indigenous people, migrants and informal sector workers, are important to ensure inclusion. Addressing youth unemployment and promoting stakeholder dialogue will strengthen the foundation for a more equitable and fair labor sector. Furthermore, collaboration with international organizations is important to exchange best practices and develop global standards for fair labor practices.
During the ILO World of Work Summit 2023 held in Geneva, Switzerland last November, the ILO Governing Body supported the creation of a global coalition for social justice, which has been welcomed by many heads of state and government, including Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina. The Government of the People's Republic of Bangladesh and other global leaders, including the United Nations Secretary-General. The Government of Bangladesh shared five suggestions on realizing social justice, including tackling inequality, emphasizing collaboration, fairness, inclusivity, tripartism and youth empowerment.
