ITUC-Asia Pacific embarked on a three-day mission to Timor-Leste from 6 to 8 May 2024, marking the inaugural meeting on the crucial topic of #RatifyC190. This collaborative effort aimed to empower the Timor-Leste Trade Union Confederation (KSTL) in crafting a robust campaign strategy for ratifying Convention 190 (C190) on Violence and Harassment in the World of Work.

Following its 23rd Virtual Women’s Committee Meeting last 26 April 2022, the ITUC-Asia Pacific envisions targeted initiatives to further align gender equality programming with the organisation’s broader priorities and activities in 2022.

From the Time is Now: Count Us In programme; which brought together 50 union women and advocacy partners from across the region, to the Moving Forward, Together: Women and Youth Unite programme, uniting around 70 women and young people of the ITUC-AP, this regional conference brought solidarity to a different level with delegates discussing forward thinking topics and sharing their shared vision and commitment to accelerating gender equality and equality for all in the years ahead.
