Equal opportunity and equal treatment in the labour market are at the core of decent work. Unfortunately, women around the world still face additional hurdles to access employment, and once in employment, to access decision-making positions and jobs in certain sectors or of certain characteristics. This horizontal and vertical gender segregation of employment, combined with the unequal distribution of unpaid work\u00a0(including household and childcare activities), results in differences in working conditions such as the\u00a0gender pay gap\u00a0and the over-representation of women in part-time jobs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gender equality is crucial to economic growth and sustainable development. It is recognized as a cross-cutting objective within the ILO\u2019s Decent Work Agenda, and as a key goal within the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development<\/a>. In fact, Goal 5 of the SDGs<\/a> is devoted specifically to achieving gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls, but gender equality is also mainstreamed throughout the other sixteen goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

International Women\u2019s Day has been around for over a hundred years, as have many of the issues still impacting women\u2019s advancement. Since 1911, IWD belongs to all who care about women\u2019s equality. Celebrate women\u2019s achievement. Raise awareness about discrimination. Take action to forge gender parity. All IWD activity is valid, that\u2019s what makes IWD so inclusive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bioeconomy is the meta-sector where women are playing a crucial role. The bioeconomy is led by women. This year, as every year, for the International Women\u2019s Day, we dedicate a tribute to all women who are making the bioeconomy happen all around the world. With their huge competences and their infinite passion, they are the stars of the world bioeconomy. Our best and warmest wishes to all women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
