Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>The International Labour Organisation (ILO) and International Organisation for Migration (IOM) last Friday said almost half of the migrant workers in the SADC region are women.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, ILO and IOM said the importance of creating gender-responsive migration policies will be discussed at a tripartite two-day conference scheduled for Victoria Falls starting tomorrow.<\/p>\n

The conference will run under the theme \u201cLabour Migration Governance in the SADC region,\u201d according to NewsDay. Read the statement:<\/p>\n

The governance of labour migration as an instrument for development in Southern Africa will be put under the spotlight at a high-level tripartite two-day dialogue.<\/p>\n

President Emmerson will officially open the high-level conference which seeks to find ways to foster fair and effective labour migration governance and the protection of migrant workers in Southern Africa.<\/p>\n

It is designed to improve migration management in the Southern African and Indian Ocean region guided by, and contributing to the realisation of, the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda goal 8 on decent work and economic growth and goal 10 on reducing inequality and Objective 6 of the Global Compact for Migration (GCM) to Facilitate fair and ethical recruitment and safeguard conditions that ensure decent work.<\/p>\n

Since almost half of the migrant workers in the SADC region are women, the conference will spotlight the importance of labour migration policies to be gender-responsive and evidence-based.<\/p>\n

According to the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA, year), 47% of migrants are female.<\/p>\n
