SUMMARY:First Global Thematic Webinar: Social Justice--Racial Justice\, Migration Justice\, and Health Justice (A CoNGO 75th Anniversary Event)
DESCRIPTION:SPONSORS \n \n \n________________________________ \nGLOBAL THEMATIC WEBINAR\non\nSOCIAL JUSTICE:\nMIGRATION JUSTICE\, RACIAL JUSTICE & HEALTH JUSTICE \n(A CoNGO 75TH ANNIVERSARY EVENT) \nThursday | March 2\, 2023 | | 9:30 AM to 12:00 PM EST\, 15h30 to 18h CET \nTime Zone Calculator \nREGISTER NOW: bit.ly/register_socialjustice_webinar \n________________________________ \nThe Conference of Non-Governmental Organizations in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations (CoNGO) invites you to the first of six global thematic webinars marking its 75th anniversary in 2023 under the overall theme “Defining the present\, shaping the future\, and making the change\, now.” This first webinar in a series of six starts with a focus on Social Justice: migration justice\, racial justice\, and health justice. \nBACKGROUND \nSocial justice—or the astonishing lack of it for many people and communities worldwide—is one of the fundamental issues of our time. No country\, city\, or place has achieved the common human expectation of social justice for all its inhabitants.  Social justice can be characterized as including full respect for the human rights of all persons; equality of treatment and opportunity; non-discrimination on any prohibited grounds (including color\, race\, ethnicity\, nationality\, gender\, etc.); universal health care; decent work; minimum basic income; decent living conditions; social protection; access to justice for all; peace and human security for all; and a safe and healthy environment. \nThe UN General Assembly resolution establishing the World Day for Social Justice stated: “The General Assembly recognizes that social development and social justice are indispensable for the achievement and maintenance of peace and security within and among nations and that\, in turn\, social development and social justice cannot be attained in the absence of peace and security or the absence of respect for all human rights and fundamental freedoms.” \nThe international system embodied by the United Nations and regional community organizations has elaborated binding conventions and other instruments that set out minimum standards and obligations to realize those standards regarding the abovementioned concerns. International supervisory and review mechanisms have been established to support the national implementation of these standards. \nMany civil society organizations advocate for and support achieving social justice at local\, national\, regional\, and global levels—with some level of activity in nearly all countries. \nThe 8 October 2021 Civil Society Summit on Substantive Issues “Shaping the Future: The UN We Need for the World We Want\,” organized by CoNGO\, highlighted social justice among the significant global critical concerns of all humanity: Human dignity and human rights; Sustainable development and humanitarian action; Peace and threats to the security of people and the planet; Social justice\, including migration\, racism\, and health; Gender justice\, youth\, and intergenerational solidarity. That summit further emphasized the importance of UN-NGO relations—enhancing multilateralism\, ensuring access\, and protecting civic space and discourse…. \nHowever\, contemporary knowledge and evidence indicate that contrary to universal aspirations and normative standards\, levels and extent of injustice\, violations of human rights\, discrimination\, and violence on the grounds of color\, perceived race\, ethnicity\, nationality\, and national origin\, as well as gender\, age\, etc.; exclusion; indecent working conditions even forced labour; lack of extension of social protection; absence of access to justice; etc. are manifest to greater or less extent in every country. \nThe Civil Society Summit on Substantive Issues brought together over 1\,000 participants worldwide to contribute experience and competences\, share doubts about our current world\, and collectively articulate aspirations and proposals for the world we want and must achieve. The Civil Society Summit was rich in outlining concepts and actions needed to shape the future. \nAs a direct outcome\, the CoNGO General Assembly resolved to use the outcome of the Summit—the Synthesis Report—as a substantive basis for CoNGO’s programmatic direction\, especially highlighting it in 2023\, CoNGO’s 75th anniversary year. It agreed to convene a series of six high-level global thematic webinars over the course of 2023 to highlight and engage the global constituency on the critical themes articulated at the Summit and to elaborate on the agenda\, responses\, and actions necessary to shape a future of human rights\, social justice\, non-discrimination\, peace\, sustainable development\, human and environmental security\, and gender justice and inter-generational solidarity for all. \n THIS FIRST GLOBAL THEMATIC WEBINAR \nThe CoNGO Board\, meeting in March 2022\, agreed to turn the six thematic clusters of the Summit into the six thematic clusters of its programmatic directions for the leadership term 2021-2025.  The subsequent board meeting mandated the coalition to organize global thematic webinars addressing those clusters. \nThe inaugural webinar focuses on Social Justice\, with subthemes on Migration Justice\, Racial Justice\, and Health Justice. This thematic webinar proceeds along the lines articulated by the UN General Assembly on the World Day of Social Justice and the CoNGO Civil Society Summit iterated above. The webinar will identify what areas of change and action are needed\, what should be undertaken now\, and by whom. \nThe Synthesis Report from the 2021 Summit graphically referred to these sub-themes: “Slavery\, colonialism\, racism\, militarism\, xenophobia\, homophobia\, ageism\, patriarchy\, misogyny… are historic injustices that must be combated\, and their intersecting complicities {must} be exposed. We must multiply our efforts at eliminating structural and systemic racism…” and discrimination. \nThe treatment of migrants and refugees in many situations worldwide represents egregious violations and denial of human rights and rights at work\, belying the growing dependence of economies and societies worldwide on the international mobility of people –skills\, and labour—for sustainable development and well-being. “We heard migrants assert their voice and agency\, saying\, ‘For a long time\, others spoke on our behalf. Now we speak for ourselves.’ Indeed\, migrants and refugees must be at the table when their human rights\, needs\, and concerns are at stake… \nThe COVID-19 pandemic and our responses have exacerbated the vast gulfs in achieving the human right to the highest attainable physical and mental health standard for all.  Three years on\, the pandemic has yet to be resolved\, let alone the preparedness of nations and communities to meet future pandemics. “The COVID-19 situation further illustrates the interests of the few taking precedence over the needs of the many. A cardinal principle should be prioritizing people and the planet over profit.” \n PROVISIONAL PROGRAM \n 9:30 AM: Welcome Remarks \n Dr. Liberato Bautista (President of CoNGO) \n Ms. Gillian Sorensen (Co-Chair\, CoNGO 75th Anniversary Committee\, and Former UN Assistant Secretary-General for External Relations) \n Brig.

It agreed to convene a series of six high-level global thematic webinars over the course of 2023 to highlight and engage the global constituency on the critical themes articulated at the Summit and to elaborate on the agenda\, responses\, and actions necessary to shape a future of human rights\, social justice\, non-discrimination\, peace\, sustainable development\, human and environmental security\, and gender justice and inter-generational solidarity for all. \n THIS FIRST GLOBAL THEMATIC WEBINAR \nThe CoNGO Board\, meeting in March 2022\, agreed to turn the six thematic clusters of the Summit into the six thematic clusters of its programmatic directions for the leadership term 2021-2025.  The subsequent board meeting mandated the coalition to organize global thematic webinars addressing those clusters. \nThe inaugural webinar focuses on Social Justice\, with subthemes on Migration Justice\, Racial Justice\, and Health Justice. This thematic webinar proceeds along the lines articulated by the UN General Assembly on the World Day of Social Justice and the CoNGO Civil Society Summit iterated above. The webinar will identify what areas of change and action are needed\, what should be undertaken now\, and by whom. \nThe Synthesis Report from the 2021 Summit graphically referred to these sub-themes: “Slavery\, colonialism\, racism\, militarism\, xenophobia\, homophobia\, ageism\, patriarchy\, misogyny… are historic injustices that must be combated\, and their intersecting complicities {must} be exposed. We must multiply our efforts at eliminating structural and systemic racism…” and discrimination. \nThe treatment of migrants and refugees in many situations worldwide represents egregious violations and denial of human rights and rights at work\, belying the growing dependence of economies and societies worldwide on the international mobility of people –skills\, and labour—for sustainable development and well-being. “We heard migrants assert their voice and agency\, saying\, ‘For a long time\, others spoke on our behalf. Now we speak for ourselves.’ Indeed\, migrants and refugees must be at the table when their human rights\, needs\, and concerns are at stake… \nThe COVID-19 pandemic and our responses have exacerbated the vast gulfs in achieving the human right to the highest attainable physical and mental health standard for all.  Three years on\, the pandemic has yet to be resolved\, let alone the preparedness of nations and communities to meet future pandemics. “The COVID-19 situation further illustrates the interests of the few taking precedence over the needs of the many. A cardinal principle should be prioritizing people and the planet over profit.” \n PROVISIONAL PROGRAM \n 9:30 AM: Welcome Remarks \n Dr. Liberato Bautista (President of CoNGO) \n Ms. Gillian Sorensen (Co-Chair\, CoNGO 75th Anniversary Committee\, and Former UN Assistant Secretary-General for External Relations) \n Brig.

SUMMARY:MSMEs in the Informal Sector: Formalization Ensure Sustainable Finance and Decent Jobs?
DESCRIPTION:About 2 billion workers\, or over 60 percent of the world’s adult labor force\, operate in the informal  sector –at least part-time\, according to the ILO. The COVID-19 pandemic hit informal workers  particularly hard\, especially women.

SUMMARY:MSMEs in the Informal Sector: Formalization Ensure Sustainable Finance and Decent Jobs?
DESCRIPTION:About 2 billion workers\, or over 60 percent of the world’s adult labor force\, operate in the informal  sector –at least part-time\, according to the ILO. The COVID-19 pandemic hit informal workers  particularly hard\, especially women. Micro Small Medium Enterprises (MSME)\, both formal and  informal\, make up over 90% of all firms around the globe and offer employment to one-third of 1.2  billion people in the world who work in the informal sector. They generate services for other sectors  like small and large industries\, retail\, tourism\, transportation\, construction\, etc.\, and contribute to over  30% of GDP and more than 70% of all jobs created in developing countries. MSMEs were heavily  impacted by the pandemic and continue to face existential challenges on various fronts including but  not limited to business formalization. \nMSMEs\, both formal and informal\, make up over 90% of all firms around the globe1 and contribute to more than half of the GDP in most countries irrespective of income2. As many countries struggle to cope with the growing debt burdens and limited fiscal space to finance the SDGs\, the important role of MSMEs as catalytic forces for achieving the SDGs cannot be stressed enough. Despite formalization gathering pace\, MSMEs and those in the informal sector also continue to struggle to access formal finance. Without the appropriate regulatory reforms\, social protection measures\, access to formal finance\, and capacity building in tools such as financial literacy and numeracy tools to help manage finances effectively\, inclusive growth and a decent work environment for those in the sector will remain a challenge.

SUMMARY:Don't Steal My Childhood: Child Labor and Children in Migration
DESCRIPTION:Don’t Steal My Childhood! \nChild Labor and Children in Migration \n\nDespite significant progress in reducing child labor in the past two decades\, most recent data show that global progress has stalled since 2016. Forced child labor deprives children of their childhood\, their potential and their dignity. It is harmful to their physical and mental health and development\, ultimately with severe consequences for the entire society. Therefore\, it is crucial to address the problem\, especially if we are to reach the ambitious 2025 target date for ending child labor (SDG 8.7). \nAt the beginning of 2020\, the latest global estimates indicated that 1 in 10 children aged 5 and over were involved in child labor worldwide – equating to an estimated 160 million children. A further 8.9 million children will be in child labor by the end of 2022 as a result of rising poverty driven by the pandemic. \nWithin the already ‘at risk’ group of child laborers\, recent analysis points to an even more vulnerable group\, namely child migrants. Children in migration\, mainly the youngest ones\, are at particularly high risk of being exploited and trafficked along migration routes and in host countries. \nSome of the literature refers to them as the ‘invisible group\,” suggesting that amongst child laborers\, migrant children receive less pay\, work longer hours\, attend school less often\, and face higher death rates at work in comparison to local children.\nMost governments have failed to develop effective policy responses to assist and protect child laborers despite the fact they are obliged to do so by multiple international acts. \nReal progress\, however\, requires translating these commitments into national laws that are then actually used as tools for action. Nations must also protect and promote other child rights\, including birth registration\, strong social protection systems\, quality education\, health care and nutrition starting with mothers and infants. They must also extend protection from violence\, abuse\, neglect\, dire poverty and exploitation\, by supporting meaningful economic and livelihood opportunities for adult family members. These rights are guaranteed to all children\, all child laborers\, and those who need additional special protections\, such as migrant children working in child labor. \nIn particular\, measures to prevent and respond to child labor during a humanitarian crisis should link the humanitarian\, development\, and peace dimensions by using the transformative power of Early Childhood Education and Care Programs. All the measures should help build social cohesion\, resilience and peace\, and strengthen existing government\, economic and social structures.\nAs an outcome we expect that Member States\, UN agencies and NGOs will honor and renew pledges made at the 5th Global Conference on the Elimination of Child Labor -Durban 2022 and most importantly\, share their good practices and policies to end child labor\, paving the way for a global strategic partnership committed to achieving SDG Targets 8.7 and 16.2 while recognizing synergies between progress on SDG 8 and SDGs 1 (end poverty)\, 4 (quality education)\, 5 (gender equality)\, 10 (reduced inequalities) and 16 (peace\, justice and strong institutions). \nRecommendations\n• Recognize Child Labor as a serious violation of children’s rights enshrined in the Convention on the Rights of the Child\, in multiple international acts\, and in SDGs 8.7 and SDGs 16.2;\n• Promote birth registration;\n• Stop hiring children below the minimum age and invest in eradicating all forms of slavery;\n• Encourage businesses to prohibit child labor;\n• Use the link between the labor inspection and workplace occupational safety and health committees to establish a monitoring system;\n• Create and enforce policies for reducing the risk of child exploitation and trafficking along migration routes and in host countries;\n• Address the special protection needs of smuggled and or trafficked children\, those who are seeking asylum\, unaccompanied and separated minors and refugees;\n• Provide support to children found in child labor\, ensuring that they and their families can benefit from all social protection measures;\n• Listen to the voices of children currently in child labor\, as well as those who survived the experience. \n___________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on CoNGO–the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations\, visit www.ngocongo.org.
