Brussels, 19/10/2009 (Agence Europe) - The theme of the conference organised by the International Trade Union Confederation (ITUC) in Brussels from Monday 19 to Wednesday 21 October is “Decent Work, Decent Life for Women”. Four hundred and fifty women trade union delegates from 100 countries will meet to assess how the global jobs crisis has affected women and map out international trade union action to improve women's job security, pay and conditions. The conference will also examine how trade unions are taking the lead on economic and social justice and equality. A major focus of the conference will be on reaching out to the most vulnerable and exploited women such as domestic workers, while discussions will also centre on the position of women within trade unions, achieving gender equality through collective bargaining and extending social protection and social security.
