The ILO(International Labour Organization) was founded in 1919, in the wake of a destructive war, to pursue a vision based on the premise that universal, lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon decent treatment of working people. The ILO became the first specialized agency of the UN in 1946. The Organization is devoted to advancing opportunities for women and men to obtain decent and productive work in conditions of freedom, equity, security, and human dignity. Its main aims are to promote rights at work, encourage decent employment opportunities, enhance social protection and strengthen dialogue in handling work-related issues. 6, record 4, English, - International%20Labour%20Organization

"ILO is indeed called the International Labour (with "u") Organization (with "z") in English. ILO could also refer to the Secretariat which is the International Labour Office. The use of the current spelling, i.e., Organization, began in October 1992 at which time an internal circular was issued. It should be noted that "Organisation" remains the preferred spelling found in the titles of any instruments, e.g. conventions, recommendations, etc., adopted by the International Labour Conference before that date, including the Constitution which was established in 1919 and last amended in 1974. (The 1994 edition of the Constitution was incorrectly issued as "Constitution of the International Labour Organization".

In 1991, in order to publicize Japan's regime of enforced prostitution during the Second World War, activists started to collect data about the women victims of sexual slavery. After 50 years of silence, women survivors, in their 70s and 80s, came forward to demand justice and redress. One of the main outcomes of this lengthy and sustained documentation work was the Women's International War Crimes Tribunal on Japanese Military Sexual Slavery. The Tokyo Tribunal, as it came to be called, was held in December 2000 in Tokyo. The Tribunal was attended by 70 victims and more than 1100 participants. The final judgment was passed in December 2001, at a Women'sInternational Tribunal held in The Hague, Netherlands. 1, record 8, English, - Women%27s%20International%20War%20Crimes%20Tribunal%20on%20Japanese%20Military%20Sexual%20Slavery

The Lest We Forget Project is the inspiration of Blake Seward, a history teacher at Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, in Smiths Falls, Ontario. Concerned that the contributions of those who died serving in the First World War have been largely forgotten, Seward began researching the military history of his own great uncle, who fought and died at Passchendaele. Seward soon realized that this type of research would be an exciting way to make history come alive in the classroom. It would give students the opportunity to document the life stories of the men and women who served in the First World War. 1, record 15, English, - Lest%20We%20Forget

Le projet Nous nous souviendrons d'eux est né de l'imagination de Blake Seward, un professeur d'histoire au Smiths Falls District Collegiate Institute, à Smiths Falls, en Ontario. Le fait de voir les contributions des Canadiens qui ont perdu la vie pendant la Première Guerre mondiale largement tombées dans l'oubli préoccupait M. Seward. Il a donc décidé d'entreprendre des recherches sur la carrière militaire de l'un de ses grand-oncles, un militaire tombé au champ d'honneur durant la bataille de Passchendaele. Il s'est alors rendu compte que ce type de projet pourrait donner un second souffle à l'enseignement de l'histoire. Ainsi, ce genre de projet donnerait aux élèves l'occasion d'en apprendre plus sur la vie et le destin des hommes et des femmes qui ont servi sous les drapeaux durant la Grande Guerre. 1, record 15, French, - Nous%20nous%20souviendrons%20d%27eux

"Women in Black" was inspired by earlier movements of women who demonstrated on the streets, making a public space for women to be heard-particularly Black Sash, in South Africa, and the Madres de la Plaza de Mayo, seeking the "disappeared" in the political repression in Argentina. But WIB also shares a genealogy with groups of women explicitly refusing violence, militarism and war, such as the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom formed in 1918, and the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the UK and related groups around the world opposing the deployment of US missiles in the eighties.... Women in Black as we know it today began in 1988 in Israel.... In other countries, including Canada, the USA, Australia, and many European countries, Women in Black vigils soon began to be organized in support of those in Israel. 2, record 16, English, - Women%20in%20Black

«Les Femmes en Noir» se sont inspirées d'anciens mouvements de femmes qui ont manifesté dans les rues pour faire entendre la voix des femmes dans l'espace public - en particulier le Black Sash en Afrique du Sud et les Madres de la Plaza de Mayo qui recherchaient les «disparus» de la répression politique en Argentine. Mais les Femmes en Noir partagent aussi une généalogie avec des groupes de femmes qui ont refusé explicitement la violence, le militarisme et la guerre comme la Ligue internationale des Femmes pour la Paix et la Liberté constituée en 1918 et les femmes du camp pour la paix de Greenham Common au Royaume-Uni ainsi qu'avec des groupes apparentés qui dans le monde se sont opposés au déploiement de missiles US dans les années 80. [...] Les Femmes en Noir telles qu'on les connaît aujourd'hui ont pris naissance en Israël en 1988.
