Gender Equality Bureau of the International Labour Organization and was a member of
the ILO's Senior Management Team. Since then Jane has been on the Advisory Board
with the United Nations Research Institute for Social Development (UNRISD) and

international and comparative human rights law and labour relations practice. With the
specialisation of working in ILO's tripartite context to get buy-in for implementing
international labour law, she has designed and delivered training programmes in the
area of fundamental principles and rights at work, in particular, gender equality,
freedom of association, disability inclusion, human rights and HIV/AIDS. She has
represented the ILO in many United Nations and multilateral fora during her career, in
particular advocating for international labour standards with the treaty bodies and the
Commission for the Status of Women and Human Rights Council. Jane is the author of
a large number of articles and has edited and contributed to many books concerning
workers' rights as human rights. Prior to joining the ILO, she practised law in Sydney,
