100 years of social protection with the ILO: on the path towards universal social protection
In 2019, the’ILO is celebrating its 100th anniversary. Throughout the year, the centenary of the organization presents an opportunity to celebrate the advances made by ILO to extend social protection at global level, specifically through the “100 years of social protection with the ILO: on the path towards universal social protection” campaign.
The campaign is addressed to a large audience with the aim of creating a culture of social protection around the world and momentum for achieving universal social protection. This campaign is firmly rooted in the 2030 United National sustainable development goals and encourages as wide an audience as possible to act to achieve the 1.3 SDG target for universal social protection.
The ILO is also promoting an exhibition called “100 years of social protection”, which highlights the accomplishments and history of the organisation. The exhibition was presented at the General Assembly of the Education and Solidarity Network in Bangkok.
