The Governing Body decided that the report requested for the year 2022 would concern the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Convention, 1958 (No. 111), the Workers with Family Responsibilities Convention, 1981 (No. 156), the Maternity Protection Convention, 2000 (No. 183), the Discrimination (Employment and Occupation) Recommendation, 1958 (No. 111), the Workers with Family Responsibilities Recommendation, 1981 (No. 165), and the Maternity Protection Recommendation, 2000 (No. 191). The report should cover those Conventions which have not been ratified by your country and the Recommendations. In the report form, the questions are not presented instrument by instrument (or article by article). Rather, they focus on the common topics raised by the different instruments, each time identifying the provisions of the instruments to which they refer. In addition, since gender equality and maternity protection are key components of the transformative policies called for in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and contribute to a number of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), notably Goals 5 (Gender  2. equality) and 8 (Decent work and economic growth), a question on the SDGs and Beijing+25 1 has also been included. The report form also contains questions related to the impact of the ILO instruments covered by the questionnaire, the prospects of ratification and the need for technical assistance. I would like to take this opportunity to remind you that, in accordance with article 23, paragraph 2, of the ILO Constitution, each Member should send a copy of its report to the representative organizations of employers and workers in its country. Please send your completed report, by no later than 28 February 2022, to the following address: International Labour Standards Department International Labour Office CH-1211 GENEVA 22 Facsimile: + 41 22 799 6771 Email: [email protected] Yours faithfully, For the Director-General: Corinne Vargha Director of the International Labour Standards Department 1 2020 marked the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women and of the adoption of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action (1995), reaching an important milestone ten years ahead of the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
