Young women informal workers, Haiti "Until I get a permanent contract, I don't want to complain" say young workers from Belgium, employed on temporary contracts. According to leaders of an international campaign demanding social protection for all, fear of job loss means young workers are often not demanding their rights, even in countries where laws and trade unions exist to protect workers. The International Young Christian Workers (IYCW) movement, is today releasing their report titled "Social Protection - Our Right", to mark its annual International Week of Young Workers and May 1st Workers' Day and to promote participation in a global campaign demanding the right to social protection. Thiruvalluvar Yovel, international coordinator of the campaign, says that social protection must include employment as a fundamental right. "We demand the right to a secure future and ask governments to play a major role in ensuring that social protection policies cover the basic principles of work security, economic security, health security, and equality between men and women." The report of surveys shows young workers are living in precarious conditions worldwide, and demand a secure future. Comments (1) \| Quote this article on your site \| Views: 2017
