Today is World Day Against Child Labour. No child should be working when they should be learning, playing and dreaming. Yet nearly 138 million children are still in child labour worldwide. Hold up a red card, post your photo, and tag 3 friends to do the same. #EndChildLabour

A just transition is impossible without workers. As governments are meeting in Bonn at the #SB64 to develop the new Belém–Antalya Mechanism for Just Transition, trade unions are calling for a simple but essential principle: workers and their representatives must be part of the decision-making process. ITUC Africa Rhoda Boateng stressed in her opening statement that as climate policies affect jobs, industries, communities, and livelihoods - workers must have a voice in shaping the transition to a sustainable future. Strong labour rights, social dialogue, decent work, and quality jobs are not optional—they are the foundation of successful climate action. There can be no just transition without human rights, labour rights, and peace. @ituc_africa

African workers are in the room — and we're fighting for a Just Transition Mechanism that puts labour rights at its core.

Though platform workers have become a necessity for many people, they often lack basic necessities themselves. That's why workers like Lem from the Philippines are pushing for a strong standard on decent work in the platform economy at this year's International Labour Conference.

🗣️ “The 2026 ITUC Global Rights Index reveals a deepening global crisis for workers' rights. This is not accidental — it’s the billionaire coup against democracy to strip away rights, silence workers, and rig economies for the powerful few. The fight for workers’ rights is the #FightForDemocracy, for dignity at work, and for a fair future.” @luc_triangle ITUC General Secretary 🔗 Learn more about #RightsIndex26: ituc-csi.org/global-rights-…

Cecilia Brighi @CislNazionale reflects on decades of shared struggle with Lee Cheuk-yan, standing together for democracy, workers’ rights, and human rights. She calls on the Hong Kong government to drop all charges and #FreeLeeCheukYan! 🗣️ “I’ve known Lee since the 1990s, and we’ve worked side by side for democracy and workers’ rights. He has dedicated his life to these values, yet has been imprisoned since 2021 for defending them. I urge the authorities to release him and all those jailed for exercising their rights.” 📢 Take action: amnesty.org/en/petition/fr… 🔗 Learn more: ituc-csi.org/free-lee-cheuk…
