ILO in Bangladesh

CommencementBangladesh 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 socialdialogue 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.

ActivitiesIn 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 programsconceived 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 withthe 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

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, therewere 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.

ILO- TICSA regional project overview

Duration: TICSA phase II (2003-

2006)Budget: US$ 3.0 million

Donor: US Department of Labor

To fight against child trafficking in Bangladesh ILO has established many

programs. These are:

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.

Dhaka.

o Training of counselors in rehabilitation centers to improve

quality of services.

o Conducting skill-building workshops for partners, focusing on

institutional and community-based child care and reintegration.

o

Piloting an individualized case management system in sheltersfor victims of trafficking.

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 genderequality 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 yearson, 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 ILOhas 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

11

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.
