#Our fight against the recent rise in rapes and violence against women in our country continues. Today we joined a national protest outside of parliament calling on the authorities to take action and protect women. #justiceforvictims
-We took action today against the recent rise in rape &brutal attacks against women. The women in our country are being let down by a weak justice system that fails to protect them. We are calling for action and the ratification of #ILO C190 against violence at work.

"The underlying problem is that because the sustainability initiatives are voluntary& industry-led, brands determine their priorities." Great piece on the need for more inclusion of workers& other key stakeholders in so-called sustainability initiatives. https://t.co/f0zLDjUmJj
Over 70 #tradeunionists and #migrantrights advocates from all parts of #SriLanka to forge a national network and to hear and voice out concerns with the government and UN organizations.
So excited to announce the launch of PayUp Fashion! For us to feel good in our clothes, fashion’s most essential workers must be paid fairly & have safety & security at work. As garment workers, organizers, & fashion lovers, we are saying enough! 🖊 here: https://t.co/VIhSd3bLJs
Participants at our training in Dhaka last week got into fascinating discussions about leadership and how to engage in successful collective bargaining. @FNVMondiaal

Our trust building dialogue continues today with participants in Dhaka. Trust between workers and management is the foundation of social dialogue and truly decent working conditions #socialdialogue@FESonline
Great day in Dhaka with participants of our dialogue workshop. Building trust between management and workers in the garment sector is especially important now as everyone in the industry faces the hardships of the pandemic. #socialdialogue@FES
Today is the Global Day of Action to protect garment & textile workers. We're calling on employers, brands & governments to stop union busting. The pandemic cannot be used as an excuse for exploitation. #stopunionbusting@IndustriALL_GU
Harrowing piece from @guardian showing appalling conditions for workers including Bangladeshi migrants in the Jordanian garment industry. American brands have been sleeping on these rights violations for far too long. https://t.co/cW5Sm08yFz.
Join our online global day of action on 4 Sep, demanding that #unionbusting in the textile and garment supply chain must end and supporting the many workers across the sector who are standing up for their rights to form a union.
