- ICAO and the International Labour Organizstion have signed an MoU for improved process on gender equality and sustainable development
- Supports the UN Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals on gender equality
Data collection and the promotion of the sustainable development benefits provided by aviation professions, particularly for women, are the focus of a new agreement signed by ICAO Council President Salvatore Sciacchitano and the International Labour Organization (ILO) Director-General Guy Ryder.
Effective immediately, the MoU will assure improved ICAO/ILO progress on gender equality and sustainable development through a wide variety of joint activities, encompassing research, technical meetings, technical advisory services, training, and collaboration on the development of guidelines, tools and methodologies.
“The agreement is very timely in view of the serious challenges the pandemic has caused for workers’ rights in the aviation sector,” said Director-General Ryder. “The ILO looks forward to working with our colleagues at ICAO to combat the effects of the pandemic, and to build a socially sustainable recovery and decent work in the sector.”
“ICAO’s conclusion of this agreement with the ILO responds to the ICAO Assembly’s Resolutions on the UN Agenda 2030 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and gender equality, which call for new partnerships within the UN system in support of enhancing aviation’s contributions to sustainable development, and for the demonstration of strong, determined leadership and commitment towards advancing women’s rights,” remarked President Sciacchitano.
The ICAO Assembly is comprised of all 193 member States and meets triennially.
