Stop violence and hiv/aids and Organise women
(Also in: Deutsch - Español - Français)

UNI publishes a new STOP poster (download here below) to mark the International Women’s Day 2006…
On 8 March, around the world, women will again commemorate “their” day celebrating their hard won gains, but also drawing public attention to the persisting inequalities in society and on the labour market and as well as women’s continuing struggles for their rights and the elimination of injustice.
The 2nd UNI World Women’s Conference last year had reaffirmed UNI’s commitment to build respect for lives of women and girls and an understanding that the integrity and dignity of women and girls is an integral part of all cultures and therefore to continue the fight against violence as well as HIV/AIDS.
To forward this objective it was agreed that UNI and its affiliates would continue campaigning to “Stop violence” against women and girls in line with the UNI policy as freedom from violence and sexual coercion is essential to both psychological and physical security as well as reduced vulnerability to HIV infection.
… and reactivates the campaign to Organise Women into Trade Unions
The Conference had also agreed to stepping up efforts to organising women in our industries, both in the formal and the informal economy, especially in receiving countries of outsourced work and the new types of workplaces and jobs such as in the customer services.
In line with its commitments, UNI therefore invites its affiliates to reengage in the Global Unions campaign "Unions for Women, Women for Unions” focusing on organising women working in the new workplaces, the young and the most vulnerable ones such as migrants, workers with part-time and precarious jobs and in the informal economy. The aim is to enable all women to assert their rights and to become the driving force behind unionisation.
Let us all continue to strongly campaign for women's rights, organise women into trade unions and combat violence and HIV/AIDS.
