For security reasons, the name of the student from Nicaragua was anonymised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background\">Letter 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For: Muyangayanga Daniella<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>RD Congo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Bukavu (UCB)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hello my dear friend, it is with great pleasure that I greet you and contact you through this letter. I am extremely excited for the conversations we\u2019re about to have and the valuable lessons, opinions and insights that we are going to exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The concept of a decent and dignified job is a simple one: every individual has the right to work in an environment that is safe, healthy, and free from discrimination or harassment. This includes fair wages, job security, and opportunities for growth and advancement. Unfortunately, many individuals around the world are denied these basic rights, and are forced to work in exploitative and oppressive conditions that undermine their dignity and well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we navigate the challenges of the modern world, one of the most pressing issues we face is the need for decent and dignified jobs for all men and women. In a world where economic inequality is rampant and basic human rights are often disregarded, it is more important than ever that we work towards a society that values and supports all individuals equally, regardless of their class, position or education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my country I\u2019ve witnessed a daily dose of indecency, to say the least, when it comes to the workspace and environment of the people from my country, so this is a problem that is really close to my heart. From people working sometimes 2 or 3 jobs a day in terrible conditions, to LITTLE. KIDS working from early ages, some since they are 3 years old, because their parents make them to, so it\u2019s normal to find these infants selling candy or cleaning car windows on the streets, or selling fruits, toys, clothing, food, etc. It\u2019s heartbreaking to see those kids, that should be going to school, learning new things, or just playing games and being kids, but instead they\u2019re under the sun working long hours to provide for their families. So, in a country where the minimum wage sometimes it\u2019s just one third of the amount it takes to cover the most basic way of living, it\u2019s normal to see situations like the ones i\u2019ve mentioned take place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Things such as these happen in my country and many other countries for a various amount of reasons, such as political corruptcy that allows these things to happen, lack of education specially for the poor, discrimination, and the fact that a lot of people don\u2019t know better and just think that the exploitation they receive it\u2019s normal and okay, and those who know better simply can do nothing about it. Mentioning these reasons may result incredibly overwhelming to us citizens\/ordinary people, because they are problems way bigger than us and sometimes we may feel like we can do nothing about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, as overwhelmed i may be about it, I also believe that we as a society, must work together to create an environment where all individuals have access to decent and dignified jobs. This begins with addressing systemic inequalities that perpetuate poverty and limit opportunities for marginalized communities. We must invest in education and training programs that help individuals acquire the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in the workforce, and provide support and resources for small businesses and entrepreneurs to create new jobs and stimulate economic growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, we must address the root causes of discrimination and inequality in the workplace. This includes combating gender-based discrimination and harassment, ensuring equal pay for equal work, and providing support and resources for individuals with disabilities or other challenges. Ultimately, the goal of creating decent and dignified jobs for all men and women is not just about economic growth or productivity. It is about creating a more just and equitable society, where every individual has the opportunity to thrive and reach their full potential. By working together to address these issues and create a more equitable and inclusive world, we can build a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I often wonder what I can do as just a young student, and even though I don\u2019t have many options to share, I think the most important thing we ALL have to do is educate ourselves on how to create fair and safe spaces, and to strive deeply for a bigger and better future for our country, to have an ambitious vision on our future plans and to define how are we going to make the world a bit more safe and secure. It is in our hands. Education is the main key to growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you ask me about a dream of mine, I want to be an entrepreneur with multiple businesses, employ people from anywhere, and give them incredible workspaces, payments, and opportunities to grow, so that each and everyone of my employees sees their job as something beautiful that brings them happiness and fulfillment, and that allows them to maintain themselves and their families, and live a happy and relaxed life. Also i would love to invest in the education system and create opportunities for the people that are often neglected from that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I wanna end my letter with these 3 questions that I hope you\u2019re able to enjoy giving a response to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>What occasions have you witnessed in your country related to unethical work treatment?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>What measures do you think companies can take to assure a safe, sustainable and ethical workspace?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>How would you like to make a positive change in your country, whether in the future or now?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you enjoyed reading this letter. Thank you again for joining me in this conversation, because perhaps small interchange of opinions and ideas such as these one, are the first step to create a better future, which I firmly believe we can create.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m really excited and looking forward to reading your response. Take your time and I know it will be great. In the meantime, I hope you stay safe, well and happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nicaragua<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\">Letter 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cher C.,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J\u2019esp\u00e8re de tout c\u0153ur que ma lettre vous trouvera bien portant et par la m\u00eame occasion, vous t\u00e9moignez ma grande joie d\u2019avoir lu votre correspondance en y prenant plaisir. Je suis Daniella Muyangayanga, une \u00e9tudiante congolaise r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement inscrite en deuxi\u00e8me ann\u00e9e de licence \u00e0 l\u2019Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Bukavu. Je suis de ce fait tr\u00e8s honor\u00e9e d\u2019\u00e9changer avec vous de la promotion d\u2019un travail d\u00e9cent, digne et \u00e9quitable pour tous et par ce m\u00eame biais apprendre de vous de la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 de ce th\u00e8me dans votre milieu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En effet, la notion du travail d\u00e9cent, digne et \u00e9quitable stipule que chaque individu, homme ou femme a droit de travailler&nbsp; dans des conditions favorables et humains, en jouissant de ses droits des travailleurs comme le pr\u00e9sente les lois r\u00e9gissant le monde professionnel en particulier avec les organes phares telles que l\u2019Organisation Internationale du Travail et l\u2019Organisation des Nations Unies qui lutte contre les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s des sexes sur tous les plans et en \u00e9tant hors d\u2019atteinte des traitements inhumains par la hi\u00e9rarchie, hors de la marginalisation de la femme, de la surexploitation de l\u2019homme et de la non prise en charge de la sant\u00e9 et s\u00e9curit\u00e9 des travailleurs en milieu professionnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je soutiens votre point de vue g\u00e9n\u00e9rale de la sant\u00e9 et s\u00e9curit\u00e9 au trail ainsi que votre d\u00e9finition de cette derni\u00e8re. Dans votre lettre vous parlez de cr\u00e9er des emplois dignes et d\u00e9cents pour tous les hommes et toutes les femmes, mais \u00e0 mon humble avis cela n\u2019est pas suffisant car si vous remarquez bien, dans le monde et dans nos milieu respectifs, plusieurs personnes hommes ou femmes se retrouve victimes de maltraitance, de traitements inhumains, d\u2019oppression et de la non consid\u00e9ration dans leurs milieux professionnels&nbsp;; d\u2019o\u00f9 ma proposition est telle que, certes il faut cr\u00e9er les empois mais d\u2019abord commencer par valoriser ceux qui sont d\u00e9j\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent en garantissant tous les droits au travailleurs et chacun dans sa fonction, garantir une sant\u00e9 et s\u00e9curit\u00e9 pour tous, garantir un dialogue social et mettre un point d\u2019honneur sur l\u2019\u00e9galit\u00e9 homme-femme comme \u00e9tant un objectif transversal.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vous avez relev\u00e9 deux points tr\u00e8s touchants dans votre lettre et je suis dans la peine d\u2019apprendre que ces situations se vivent dans nos milieux respectifs quoi qu\u2019\u00e9tant p\u00e9nibles. Parmi eux nous avons le travail des enfants et les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s sur le lieu de travail. Actuellement, nous faisons face&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Premi\u00e8rement \u00e0 une vague d\u2019irresponsabilit\u00e9s \u00e9tatiques et sociales obligeant les enfants pour la plupart orphelins-abandonn\u00e9s-ruraux-pauvres-mis\u00e9rables a sillonner les rues a la recherche du minimum pour survivre dans ce syst\u00e8me injuste, in\u00e9gal et corrompu alors qu\u2019ils devraient \u00eatre sur les banc de l\u2019\u00e9cole \u00e0 \u00e9tudier pour se frayer un chemin dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et parvenir \u00e0 une autonomie financi\u00e8re leurs permettant de vivre une vie saine et humaine. Pourtant ils sont \u00e9cart\u00e9s et n\u2019ont pas droit a l\u2019\u00e9ducation et ce qui est plus r\u00e9voltant et que dans notre pays, il n\u2019existe presque pas un syst\u00e8me de r\u00e9insertion des enfants ruraux.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Deuxi\u00e8mement \u00e0 une in\u00e9galit\u00e9s flagrantes des sexes qui se vit m\u00eame dans les comportements, la r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration, la protection sociale en milieu professionnel. Le salaire et in\u00e9gal, les comportements sont m\u00e9prisants et hautains \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9gard de la femme, l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux grandes responsabilit\u00e9s est toujours difficile pour la femme et aussi nous faisons face \u00e0 des cas d\u2019harc\u00e8lement qui aujourd\u2019hui prend de l\u2019ampleur sur le lieu de travail et d\u00e9pr\u00e9ciation du travail fourni et de rabaissement a cause de notre qualit\u00e9 de filles ou femmes.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Tr\u00e8s cher C., dans notre milieu, nous nous sommes tr\u00e8s souvent heurt\u00e9s \u00e0 des cas des traitements non-\u00e9thiques, aux comportements qui sont contraires aux r\u00e8gles morales de la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 sur le lieu de travail&nbsp;; par cela je sous-entends l\u2019injustice&nbsp;; le harc\u00e8lement verbal, sexuel et moral&nbsp;; les violences physiques et mentales et enfin les abus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans notre pays plusieurs dirigeants d\u2019entreprises ou m\u00eame des personnes ayant des qualifications et se trouvant dans la classe riche, pensent avoir tous les droits sur leurs subalternes et par cela je commence par des cas des violences physiques, mentales et injustices pour toutes ces femmes rurales et d\u2019ex\u00e9cutions qui sont maltrait\u00e9es sur le lieu de travail quotidiennement et \u00e0 qui les sup\u00e9rieurs disent ne pas avoir aucun droit en oubliant que ces m\u00eames femmes sont aussi humaines, m\u00e8re, s\u0153urs et femmes d\u2019autres personnes, ont des droits comme tout le monde. Elles m\u00e9ritent non seulement le respects mais \u00e9galement un salaire \u00e9quitable, un \u00e9panouissement et des conditions de travail digne d\u2019un \u00eatre humain. Cela a tellement pris de l\u2019ampleur qu\u2019actuellement, nous faisons face aux cas fr\u00e9quent d\u2019harc\u00e8lement, d\u2019abus et des violences faites aux subalternes en g\u00e9n\u00e9ral et aux femmes en particulier. Celles \u00e0 qui on dit qu\u2019elle ne peut pas aller loin sans donner son corps, \u00e0 qui on dit qu\u2019elle ne peut \u00e9voluer et n\u2019a aucun pouvoir, \u00e0 qui ont dit qu\u2019elle ne peut pas parler si un homme parle car elle n\u2019est rien. Cela est la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 \u00e0 laquelle nous faisons face jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce jour&nbsp;; une r\u00e9alit\u00e9 qui ferme les yeux sur l\u2019\u00e9volution de l\u2019\u00e9ducation en mettant en avant les concepts discriminatoires de la culture pour cacher cette discrimination des femmes en milieu professionnel et soci\u00e9tal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans mon point de vue, j\u2019ai toujours \u00e9t\u00e9 convaincue que le syst\u00e8me de la m\u00e9ritocratie, de la plus grande comp\u00e9tence, du bon climat social, de la communication horizontale et verticale dans l\u2019entreprise, du dialogue et du respect mutuel, tous constituent des mesures importantes et consid\u00e9rables pour garantir un espace de travail sur, sain, durable et \u00e9thique au sein des entreprises tant mondiales, Africaine que congolaises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans mes perspectives, nous devrions d\u2019abord promouvoir l\u2019\u00e9ducation, les droits de la femme et les droits humains, et enfin les droits de travailleurs. Premi\u00e8rement si une personne est comp\u00e9tente et instruite, elle peut se faire une place dans la soci\u00e9t\u00e9 et dans les entreprises, deuxi\u00e8mement faire valoir des droits humains pour que m\u00eame ses femmes et hommes qui n\u2019ont pas eu la chance d\u2019atteindre les \u00e9tudes soient respecter et pris en compte par ses semblables sans aucune sup\u00e9riot\u00e9 et discriminations li\u00e9s aux classes sociales. Troisi\u00e8mement, faire valoir les droits des travailleurs, je suis au d\u00e9partement des Ressources Humaines et Sciences du travail, cela me permet non seulement de c\u00f4toyer des entreprises de la place pour faire passer des messages sur les droits de travailleurs mais \u00e9galement par des recherches et travaux (article-texte de fin de cycle) de proposer aux entreprises quelques pistes de solutions dans ce domaine. Cela pourra permettre dans l\u2019avenir de rendre effectif le concept de travail d\u00e9cent et \u00e9quitable gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 la place que ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments occupent dans le d\u00e9veloppement de l\u2019entreprise d\u2019une part, accroit la mondialisation et r\u00e9duit la pauvret\u00e9 de l\u2019autre part.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Avec une grande estime, j\u2019esp\u00e8re que ma lettre sera appr\u00e9ci\u00e9e de vous et que mes r\u00e9ponses vous seront satisfaisantes aux questions pos\u00e9es.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A cela, j\u2019aimerais porter \u00e0 votre connaissance, mon d\u00e9sir de m\u2019impr\u00e9gner de votre point de vue sur les questions suivantes&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Comment une femme est-t-elle trait\u00e9e en milieu professionnel, a-t-elle des m\u00eame ouvertures et opportunit\u00e9s que l\u2019homme&nbsp;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quelles sont les interf\u00e9rences de la culture sur le monde professionnel dans votre milieu, faites-vous face aux comportements sexiste quant \u00e0 ce&nbsp;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comment pensez-vous arriver \u00e0 la promotion du travail d\u00e9cent et \u00e9quitable dans votre pays&nbsp;?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>J\u2019esp\u00e8re que vous avez trouv\u00e9 du plaisir \u00e0 lire ma lettre et \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre aux questions ci-haut qui me tiennent \u00e0 c\u0153ur actuellement.

As for the first time, I\u2019m more than happy to exchange my opinions and takes on this topic with you, Daniella.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I would like to first address and answer the questions you provided me, starting with the one about women in my country\u2019s workspace and the opportunities they have compared to the ones men have. I personally think this answer may vary depending on the circumstances, experiences and life of the person you ask, so I\u2019m gonna try to give 2 perspectives, one that is close to my life and what I&#8217;ve seen myself, and another one more neutral and open. From one side, my whole life I\u2019ve been surrounded with incredibly powerful women that have been examples of strength and perseverance, but I wanna specially mention my mom. She has worked both as an entrepreneur and also under companies as an employee, and in both situations she has been successful, she has been able to reach high levels of education and has been able to greatly succeed on the workspace, she has fought for and earned every opportunity she\u2019s had and has been a leader and example to so many other men and women, and just as her, I\u2019ve met and I\u2019ve seen so many other women that have had great achievements and have been given incredible opportunities of work and education, sometimes even better than the ones some of their male peers receive. However, as inspiring and admirable these women are, it doesn\u2019t escape me for one moment that not every woman in the country has the same experience, there\u2019s still sexism, abuse and inequity, especially in the more rural parts of the country, and this shouldn\u2019t be the case at all. I\u2019m still reflecting on this topic, but I think that my resumed answer would be that women in my country have pretty equal opportunities to the men, however, sadly not everyone in my country is able to access to these opportunities, but I don\u2019t think that has to do with gender, but more with socioeconomic reasons and the discrimination and lack of exposure they have to such opportunities, which is just as sad and unjust, and needs to be treated and addressed with equal seriousness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to the influence of culture in the workspace, I think lots of people would say that Nicaraguan culture may be sexist in some ways, and as I mentioned before, even though women are able to have equal opportunities, sadly they don\u2019t always encounter the same respect and treatment as their male coworkers. You can still find men talking and behaving to women in very inappropriate and even disrespectful or abusive ways, and a big part of them will justify their acts with culture, the way they were raised, and the way they think things are. As men, it is extremely important to recognize this and deeply reflect if we are or have been part of this kind of treatment towards women, and make sure to never be part of it again and call out the ones that engage in this behaviors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m glad you asked about ways of promoting dignified work, since I think that with this interaction we are doing that. We can only do so much on our own to change a corrupt and sometimes evil system, but what we all can and should do is have conversations such as this one between our friends and family, recognizing the wrong things and coming up with ways to fight them and change them is a great starting point. It\u2019s our responsibility to answer<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>the call of being a good person, it starts with us the creation of an equal, respectful and safe workspace for all, but specially for women. We need to be those who call out the ones that engage in disrespectful and nasty behavior, or that apply abuse of power over employees. We as communities have to stand in unity and fill ourselves with good values and education, to make sure we take no part in the creation of an unjust enviroment. I hope for safety and security in every workspace, I hope that every individual can feel comfortable doing their job, I hope that for my country and for every country, but we as individuals and as groups need to do the correct inner work and to not be afraid to call out those in the wrong. Ending injustice requires a collective effort from individuals, organizations, and governments. This includes education and awareness campaigns to highlight the importance of gender equality, advocating for legislative changes, and supporting initiatives that promote respect between coworkers. Moreover, it is essential to hold individuals and organizations accountable for discriminatory behavior and ensure that there are consequences for those who engage in harassment or discrimination.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ve touched a very important thing that felt very close to me and my opinions, and that is that we need to promote education to everyone. In my opinion, education is the foundation of everything, is the one thing that frees us from ignorance and that will make each and everyone of us free and closer to make our goals come true. Education is a right we all have, and that we all should have access to. Education is also essential for economic growth and development. It provides individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to participate in the workforce and contribute to the economy. Moreover, education can promote social cohesion and foster understanding and tolerance between individuals from different backgrounds, leading to a more inclusive and equitable society. It is a very big wish of mine, that each day more and more people, especially kids, are able to access great levels of education, and maybe even one day not one person is left uneducated, and therefore, marginalized for this same reason.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the meantime, I think we need to focus on educating ourselves as much as we can and educate others in need, be compassionate and understand that not everyone has the privilege of education, and we can even involve ourselves in ways to help communities or groups that are more vulnerable in these aspects. I firmly believe that education and work opportunities go hand to hand, and we can not talk about fair and equal jobs for everyone, regardless of race, gender or socioeconomic background, without mentioning the fact that there is a huge level of inequity in the access of education.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is my wish that each day we as a society grow to be more respectful, kind and compassionate. I cannot wait for the day I can say that there are not any more kids around in the streets working but instead they\u2019re at school, that everyone can live comfortably with having one job, and that the workspace has become an enjoyable, respectful and safe space for everyone, both men and women.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Daniella, it was an incredibly great pleasure to exchange letters with you. I value this time and interaction so much, because they push us to think outside the box, reflect about current and serious problems and to get new opinions and perspectives. I would like to end my letter with these questions that I hope you enjoy giving an answer to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf How much do you think Education has to do with the experience a person has in the workspace and the opportunities that are offered to the?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf How would you expect to bring educational and professional fairness to every person in your country? What do you think it takes?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u25cf What would you advice a person that is trying to make a change and doesn\u2019t know how or what to do?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m really looking forward to reading your final letter, and I hope mine finds you well. It was a pleasure to learn from you, please keep thriving and growing. I believe you will get very far in life if you keep your determination and ambition growing, so please do. I send you my greatest wishes, and thank you so much for being my Pen Friend.

Recevoir tes mots m\u2019a permis de r\u00e9aliser que malgr\u00e9 le fait de se trouver \u00e0 des kilom\u00e8tres, on vit les r\u00e9alit\u00e9s presque similaires et circonstances tant professionnelles que soci\u00e9tal un peu identiques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>C\u2019est avec honneur que j\u2019ai lu votre lettre et j\u2019y ai d\u00e9couvert quelques questions auxquelles je tenterais de r\u00e9pondre dans celle-ci.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En effet, l&#8217;\u00e9ducation est li\u00e9e \u00e0 l&#8217;exp\u00e9rience d&#8217;une personne dans l&#8217;espace de travail et aux opportunit\u00e9s qui lui sont offertes dans la mesure ou un enfant a \u00e9t\u00e9 \u00e9duqu\u00e9 en sachant qu\u2019il faut travailler dure pour avancer et se frayait un chemin dans cette soci\u00e9t\u00e9. Dans la mesure o\u00f9 une personne sait que lorsque les opportunit\u00e9s se pr\u00e9sentent il faut les saisir pas se d\u00e9courager en disant qu\u2019il ne connait personne et que peut \u00eatre ces opportunit\u00e9s sont truqu\u00e9s. En \u00e9duquant une personne, il est tr\u00e8s important de lui montrer l\u2019importance du travail, de la pers\u00e9v\u00e9rance, de la confiance en soi car c\u2019est avec un background significatif et \u00e9ducatif bien fait, qu\u2019un individu arrive \u00e0 se d\u00e9marquer et a aller de l\u2019avant. C\u2019est avec ca qu\u2019il sera a la hauteurs des opportunit\u00e9s et de la vie soci\u00e9tale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je pense que pour apporter l&#8217;\u00e9quit\u00e9 \u00e9ducative et professionnelle \u00e0 tous les habitants de notre pays, il est pr\u00e9f\u00e9rable dans les cadres de l\u2019\u00e9ducation premi\u00e8rement, d\u2019instaurer un syst\u00e8me de justice sociale, de privil\u00e9gier la m\u00e9ritocratie au d\u00e9triment du parti pris, de s\u00e9lectionner les contenus de formation et d\u2019instructions selon les apprenants, soutenir les enfants qui en n\u2019ont besoin sans tenir compte de leurs \u00e2ges, leurs sexes, leurs races ou les classes sociales. Ainsi travailler dans un syst\u00e8me \u00e9ducatif \u00e9quilibr\u00e9 en visant la performance et l\u2019efficacit\u00e9 de tout apprenant en corrigeant les in\u00e9galit\u00e9s que subissent des personnes, enfants, \u00e9tudiants, \u00e9l\u00e8ves afin qu\u2019ils soient tous trait\u00e9s de mani\u00e8re juste&nbsp;;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>En second lieu, nous avons une \u00e9quit\u00e9 professionnelle. A mon avis, celle-ci peut \u00eatre apporter dans le cas ou les employeurs consid\u00e8rent leurs employ\u00e9s comme ayant une m\u00eame valeurs sans y r\u00e9f\u00e9rer les sexes, l\u2019\u00e2ge, l\u2019origine, &#8230; cette \u00e9quit\u00e9 est r\u00e9gi par les r\u00e8glements et les r\u00e8gles du contrat de travail en pr\u00f4nant le fait que tout travailleurs doit \u00eatre trait\u00e9 de mani\u00e8re \u00e9quitable lors du recrutement, dans des conditions de travail, dans des clauses de travail, dans l\u2019\u00e9volution de sa carri\u00e8re et m\u00eame dans des formations organis\u00e9es par l\u2019entreprise. Les employ\u00e9s doivent \u00eatre consid\u00e9rer de mani\u00e8re \u00e9gale. Le fait de mettre en place l\u2019\u00e9quit\u00e9 professionnel permet de garantir une justice organisationnelle et garantir une discrimination positive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dans cette perspective, qu&#8217;il faudrait pour cela pour les gens saches qu\u2019ils ont aussi les droits et les devoirs m\u00eame en \u00e9tant pauvres et simple employ\u00e9s. Les entreprises devraient arr\u00eater de consid\u00e9rer les comme des machines et prendre en comptes les normes venu avec F. Taylor sur l\u2019Organisation Scientifique du Travail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pour une personne qui essaie de changer et qui ne sait pas comment s\u2019y prendre, je conseillerais dans un premier temps de faire un \u00e9tude sur terrain pour ces rendre compte des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s basiques du domaines dans lequel il veut \u0153uvrer et changer les choses, de tenir comptes des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s culturelles car \u00e9mancipation et le mondialisme ne sont sujet et facteur d\u2019une acculturation. Une personne qui voudrait changer les choses doit \u00e9galement se rendre compte des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s du monde du travail ou il fait des activit\u00e9s en donnant de son pour connaitre les r\u00e8glementations telles que les codes du travail congolais, les conventions interprofessionnelles et collectives du travail, les r\u00e8glements de l\u2019entreprises, les normes de l\u2019OIT,&nbsp;\u2026 car c\u2019est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 ces \u00e9l\u00e9ments tr\u00e8s bien consid\u00e9r\u00e9s et mis en application qu\u2019il saura r\u00e9guler les conditions de travail en faisant en sorte que tout un chacun se retrouve en joie dans l\u2019exercice de ces fonctions. Cela permet de lutter contre les discriminations, les violences professionnelles, les situations d\u2019exploitations de travailleurs, \u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La promotion d\u2019un travail digne et \u00e9quitable est un ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne qui doit passer par plusieurs \u00e9tapes dans notre continent et notre pays en particulier pour \u00eatre efficace et effective. Notre gouvernement devrait prendre au s\u00e9rieux ces situations de discriminations, harc\u00e8lements, indignit\u00e9s et exploitations dans le milieu professionnel pour voir comment r\u00e9guler cette d\u00e9viation sur le plan national et les mettre en applications dans nos entreprises respectives.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Par crainte de se retrouver au ch\u00f4mage, d\u2019\u00eatre dans la liste noir de certaines entreprises, par cette corruptions qui se vit en monnaie courante&nbsp;; les victimes de ces m\u00e9faits n\u2019arrivent pas \u00e0 ext\u00e9rioriser leurs obstacles, leurs probl\u00e8mes&nbsp;; ils n\u2019arrivent pas \u00e0 d\u00e9noncer ces actes ignobles qu\u2019ils vivent au quotidiens dans ces entreprises. Certaines entreprises et responsables on fait obscurit\u00e9 au ph\u00e9nom\u00e8nes de m\u00e9ritocraties et m\u00eames \u00e9galit\u00e9-\u00e9quit\u00e9 au point o\u00f9 certains employ\u00e9s et certaines femmes se retrouvent marginaliser sur le lieu de leur travail.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Je suis d\u2019accord avec toi cher ami car tout ceci doit changer et faire place \u00e0 un environnement de travail sain, digne, respectueux, \u00e9panouissant pour tout un chacun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enfin, je voudrais clore cette lettre par quelques questions que j\u2019esp\u00e8re, vous prendrez plaisir \u00e0 r\u00e9pondre en m\u2019enrichissant des vos opinions et des r\u00e9alit\u00e9s de votre milieux. Ces questions sont les suivantes&nbsp;:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Selon toi et tes observations, pourquoi m\u00eame si les femmes ont les m\u00eames opportunit\u00e9s que les hommes, l\u2019acc\u00e8s aux \u00e9tudes sup\u00e9rieures et \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9ducation&nbsp;; on observe toujours un pourcentage r\u00e9duit des femmes dans le monde professionnel&nbsp;? et un acc\u00e8s limit\u00e9 aux postes de grandes responsabilit\u00e9s&nbsp;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pensez-vous que ces conversations suffisent \u00e0 garantir un changement de mentalit\u00e9s pour un avenir&nbsp;? selon vous quelles serez des pistes de solutions pour arriver a demeurer dans un espace sain ou on priorise la sant\u00e9 et la s\u00e9curit\u00e9 en milieu professionnel, ou on \u00e9tablit un environnement sain et digne sur tout les plans pour les employ\u00e9s&nbsp;?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Comment \u00eatre ceux qui d\u00e9noncent ces actes de discrimination en milieu professionnel&nbsp;?&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Il me tardera de recevoir votre r\u00e9ponse cher ami.
