“I work in the agricultural sector, the heat in the fields is unbearable and the conditions are very hard. They exploit me and treat me as if I were a machine, not a person. Despite all the effort, the salary is barely enough to cover the basics.” - Bendjy, Haitian migrant

Today, October 7, we are celebrating the International Day for Decent Work. This day reminds us of the importance of ensuring just and dignified working conditions for all workers around the world. Decent work is a fundamental right that we all deserve. It means having a job with just conditions, decent wages, adequate social protection, and a safe and healthy working environment. It is work that respects human dignity and promotes equal opportunity without discrimination.
