President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has indicated that he will ensure the United Nations International Labour Organization Conventions C189 and C190 are ratified.

This he says has become necessary due to the recent cases of stranded migrant women domestic workers in the Middle East.

The UN ILO Convention C189, the Domestic Workers Conventions was adopted in 2011, to protect the rights of domestic workers while UN ILO Convention C190, Violence, and Harassment Convention, was adopted in 2019 to safeguard against violence and harassment at workplaces.

In a speech read on behalf of President Akufo-Addo, by the Minister for Gender, Children and Social Protection, Cynthia Morrison, at the UN75 Celebration on Thursday, where he was awarded the “Champion of Migrant Women’s Decent Work”, he touted the government’s achievement so far in providing decent work.

“I thank the leadership and organizers of this August event and for this award which I deeply appreciate because “Decent Work” is at the heart of our priorities for our people in Ghana and abroad. This year, our Government launched LI 2408 to provide protection and Decent Work for all domestic workers in Ghana.”

“As the new “Champion of Migrant Domestic Workers Decent Work”, I wish to share the good news of the UAE Tadbeer Bilateral Agreement which we have signed which provides Decent Work for Domestic Workers.”, he said.

The President also lauded the successes chalked by the United Nations Youth Association-Ghana.

“Indeed, UNYA-Ghana Chaired by HE Rev. Dr. AK Ocansey, with Country Head, HE Lillian Sally Addo, and your dedicated Peace and Goodwill Ambassadors, including our own Asamoah Djan, are walking the talk! With over 10,000 members represented in each region and constituency in Ghana through nearly 300 Shadow Ministers and Deputy Ministers and young MPs makes you a very important youth group for the Governance of Ghana’s future. H.E. Winifred Nii Okai Hammond, our Ambassador to Egypt, Lebanon, and Sudan- have done a yeoman’s job in rescuing and repatriating over 2000 young ladies stranded in Lebanon- saving many lives,” he said.

The UN75 Celebration held in Accra was marked with a launch of “Deadly Work or Decent Work?” authored by H.E. Rev. Dr. A.K. Ocansey and a Presidential Awards Ceremony.

The theme for this year was; Human Rights, Gender Equality, and Youth Involvement.
