@FES_ETH & @EthioHRC concluded a training on the human rights dimensions of #climateaction and Just Transition, aimed at strengthening the capacity of human rights institutions to integrate human rights, social justice and decent work into #Ethiopia’s climate action.🌍
Participants examined #NDC 3.0 transition impacts across transport, agriculture, energy & infrastructure, and applied the ILO’s 4 pillars of #JustTransition. They developed practical tools for #monitoring, complaints & policy advice to ensure climate action leaves no one behind.
🚚Climate change and climate actions directly impact transport & communication workers—from severe weather hazards to job losses. On Aug 4 in Adama, @FES_ETH & @Cetu_Ethiopia hosted a training on Just Transition & Social Dialogue.
🗳️👩🏽⚖️ Women's equal participation is essential to #democracy, yet many Ethiopian women continue to face #violence, intimidation, #discrimination, & growing online abuse throughout the electoral cycle. Protecting women's #political participation means protecting democracy. #VAWiEP
@timranethiopia & @FES_ETH convened a multi-stakeholder dialogue to identify solutions to Violence Against #Women in #Elections and Politics. Stronger safeguards, accountability, and collective action are essential to ensure women can participate freely, safely, and with dignity.
How do we merge Ethiopia’s climate goals with real social protection? 🌍 at the @FES_ETH & @ActionAid national stakeholders workshop on Green Jobs & Climate-Resilient Development, the focus shifted from abstract goals to urgent, structural realities.
On the solutions, participants stressed that a true #JustTransition requires proactive social protections like temporary income support. They also demanded a shift to move women away from low-paid waste collection and into high-value green entrepreneurship.
Workers in the #Hawassa textile & garment sector spoke out on barriers to unionization, delayed collective agreements, weak labor law enforcement, and lack of support for organizing. Their message was clear: respect the right to organize, bargain collectively, and be heard.
Textile workers demanded fair wages that match living costs, safer workplaces, strict workplace #GBV protections, and continuous training on workers' rights. They called on employers and the government to uphold labor laws and strengthen #SocialDialogue to promote decent work.
🗳️Women leaders are shaping the future in Dire Dawa & Hawassa! At the @timranethiopia & @FES_ETH training, participants mastered political messaging, voter mapping, and campaign budgeting. Empowering #women with tools to run effective campaigns is key to an inclusive democracy.
Safe political spaces are a must! Participants discussed on how to tackle VAWiE (Violence Against Women in Elections), by building personal safety plans and institutional protection strategies. True equality means a political landscape free from harassment. #SafePolitics #VAWiE
