Gender mainstreaming in the Philippines

Gender Mainstreaming in the ILO-Sweden Partnership Agreement in the Philippines

The ILO worked with the government, employers and workers organizations in the Philippines to ensure gender equality in workers' activities, freedom of association and working conditions.

Under the project, ILO worked with the government, employers and workers organizations in the Philippines to ensure gender equality and mainstreaming in the following areas:
  • Workers’ activities
  • Working conditions
  • Freedom of Association
The project’s direct beneficiaries were major workers organizations and trade unions including domestic workers in the Philippines. The project, with the support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA), focused on building the capacity of these national institutions such that they will continue to develop and advance programmes and policies to promote gender equality within their structures.
