Bureau of International Labor Affairs projects around the world are helping girls thrive. On International #DayOfTheGirl, learn more about the work we’re doing with our partners to empower girls and #EndChildLabor. ⬇️
Today, on International #DayOfTheGirl, we're proud to spotlight Ekram Siraj, a 17-year-old changemaker from Ethiopia. As a member of the Federal Child Parliament and chairperson of the Environmental Protection Committee in Addis Ababa's Child Parliament, Ekram embodies this year's theme: "Girls' vision for the future." Ekram, who aspires to become a doctor, recently participated in our She Thrives Project with CARE, contributing her insights to shape strategies for accelerating the implementation of Ethiopia's National Action Plan on Child Labor. Her involvement underscores the critical importance of including adolescent girls in decisions that affect their lives and futures. According to Ekram, the biggest challenges facing girls in Ethiopia today include gender-based violence, limited access to education, early marriage and child labor, particularly in domestic work. Despite these obstacles, Ekram, and many girls like her, remain deeply motivated to learn and achieve their goals. We asked her to share her thoughts on cultural beliefs about girls, the importance of self-confidence, and her vision for improving girls' lives and addressing child labor. Watch to hear her insights firsthand. To learn more about the She Thrives Project and its work to create lasting change for girls in Ethiopia, visit https://lnkd.in/e4KgJmdV

What happens when businesses are closed during a hurricane, records are destroyed and workers are waiting for their paychecks? Employers *must* pay workers at least the federal minimum wage and overtime due for the hours that they worked, even during natural disasters. Some states have different minimum wages, and the law that provides the greatest worker protections applies. If your last paycheck has been delayed because of a disaster contact our Wage and Hour Division at 1-866-487-9243. #Helene #Milton #Payroll #Management
